Avast Free Antivirus for Mac is Avast's answer to concerns about how to browse safely. The application is packaged with a brand-new, easy-to-understand graphical user interface, with access to all.
Archived
Windows 7 x64
AMD A8 Processor Quad-core 1.5GHz
8GB RAM
AMD Radeon 6620G graphics card
Xp System Log
750GB HDD
So I downloaded AVAST today as I heard it was a good antivirus software and wanted to try it out. I started a scan today about 2 hours ago and while it is scanning different files every few seconds it is still at 0% and is incredibly slow. At this rate it could take 24 hours to complete..
Why is it so slow? I know my processor isn't the best but this is ridiculous. I usually use Microsoft Security Essentials and that would have a full system scan finished by now.
UPDATE: It's finished now, I left my PC to go do something else about 2 hours ago and it has since finished. I guess nothing is wrong but it does still seem unusually slow.

I don't know if it's because my email which I used to download AVG Free is a mail@ email, but when I try to login I get ' Please verify your email by clicking the link in the email you received after you created your AVG MyAccount. Resend the email. '
There has been no verification email for the past 24 hours. I always check the spam folders.
Consequently I couldn't log in to the support community either (I'm using another email address).
I wanted to know if I can transfer the AVG software which I paid for and used on my old computer, to my new one. It expires in March next year (and although I couldn't get a verification email, I did get an email telling me when it expired and what the license number is.
Thanks!

It's driving me crazy. I want to extend my AVG protection paid for on my laptop to my tablet. I have paid another fee although my original understanding was that the protection product would cover all devices. I have received Ann email saying click here which does not work If I access my account all that happens is I get routed to a sales pitch. When I transferred protection some while ago from a defunct laptop to my new one it was all quite smooth and I got help online. This community is absurd as it is just other fellow sufferers.

Let us explain this for you. Your products will get activated using its activation code on multiple devices. It's not necessary to create 2 separate accounts. You can retrieve the activation code from your AVG MyAccount.
