They used to just let you have it, now they need you to re-register annually. If that is too much of a bother, there are other viable alternatives (Microsoft Security Essentials, Panda Cloud Anti-virus to name a couple). I still like Avast as free option (it's one of the best), but they do have that registration.

If the automatic registration is not working you can register online here:http://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus.php and you will receive an email with a code.

I know several of you use Avast free version and I've been using it without problems for quite a while. Now they are saying I need to register or upgrade to paid. When I try to register and fill out the form, the form rejects being submitted. Anyone else find this? Workaround? Alternatives? Thanx!
