Avast Anti-Virus Pro/ IS v5.1.889 + New CRACK - (Till 2037)
Some Common Problems With their Solutions (Avast 5.1.889 )
Though the Installation and Patching Instructions are within the patch (click the "Read Me" button) and which you must read carefully and strictly follow before applying the patch, I have adapted and rephrased them for your easiest understanding as follows:
About the crack:
The crack converts a downloaded 30 days trial license for avast!
Pro AV + IS v5.1.889 into a regular license, valid till 22-01-2037.
The crack is only for:
- avast! Internet Security v5.1.889 (32-64 bit, Incl. firewall)
- avast! Pro Antivirus v5.1.889 (32-64 bit, No firewall incl.)
* Trying the crack for another version is useless and won't work.
Overview of the notes below (especially read note A, B, C):

A. Installation notes:
- This cracked ashBase.dll simply should be replaced with the original ashBase.dll.
- Make sure to read all the (install) notes below, cause you may need them.
- If the crack is detected by your antivirus software then add the crack to the exclusions lists of real-time protection and auto-scan. You may need to disable real-time protection and auto-scan before copying the crack into the avast program directory, and when adding the crack to the exclusions lists.
- If the crack is removed by your antivirus software then restore and exclude the crack through your antivirus (Quarantaine or History, or something similar).
- Uninstall any previous installed version of avast first.
- Disconnect internet during installation.Install avast.IS.5.1.889 or avast.AV.Pro.5.1.889 (not both!) in trial mode.
- It's recommended to uncheck "Participate in the avast! community". (Such info is used to add crack signatures etc to virus databases.)
- To install additional avast languages choose avast "Custom Installation". > Don't download languages through avast (it will render the license invalid)!
- After installation do NOT reboot, and run avast.
- At Settings -> Troubleshooting: uncheck "Enable avast! self-defense module".
- Launch Windows Task Manager by pressing keyboard keys CTRL - SHIFT - Esc, and let it show all users running processes.
- Terminate AvastSvc.exe and AvastUI.exe in Windows Task Manager.
- Copy and paste the included cracked ashBase.dll from the crack folder into the avast program directory (replacing the original ashBase.dll file). Default avast program directory -> C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5
- Reboot the computer after pasting the cracked ashBase.dll into the install dir.
- Run avast, and check mark again "Enable avast! self-defense module".
- At Settings > Updates, set PROGRAM "Automatic update" to > "Manual update".
- Connect internet, and make sure that avast can connect to internet.
- Click on "Activate" at avast's main screen (SUMMARY -> Current Status)
- (or go to Maintenance -> Subscription -> Activate trial period).
- Wait a few seconds, and avast will be activated till 22-01-2037.
- avast can now be updated, but update ONLY the engine and virus definitions.
B. Important notes:
1. Update ONLY the engine and virus definitions (Auto or Manual):
-> At MAINTENANCE > Update click ONLY on "Update engine and virus definitions".
2. Do NOT update the PROGRAM updates (from version 5.1.889 to a newer version):
-> At MAINTENANCE > Update do NOT click on "Update Program" (it will render
the license invalid) !!!
3. At Settings > Updates, set PROGRAM "Automatic update" to > "Manual update".
4. Don't download languages through avast (it will render the license invalid)!
5. If AvastSvc.exe cannot connect to internet then the license cannot be activated:
-> C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\AvastSvc.exe
6. If the avast license cannot be activated then reboot the computer and try again.
7. If avast.setup cannot connect to internet then avast cannot be updated:
-> C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\Setup\avast.setup (setup_ais-379.vpx)
8. If avast cannot be updated then reboot the computer and try updating again.
C. Help, Troubleshooting, General Info:
- If the avast! "self-defense module" cannot be disabled before rebooting then reboot the computer, and disable avast! self-defense module.
- Vista/Windows7 users may need to use another option to terminate AvastUI.exe and AvastSvc.exe (eg. through "active task bar services window" or by using msconfig, and rebooting the computer).
- You may need to copy/paste the crack as Administrator.
- If the original ashBase.dll cannot be replaced with the cracked ashBase.dll then just drag out the orignal ashBase.dll, and copy/paste the cracked ashBase.dll into the same directory. Or eventually copy/paste the cracked ashBase.dll in Safe Mode (F8), using an Administrator account.
To go into Safe Mode: *********************
>> Press (F8) while (re-)starting the computer, and select Safe Mode to continue.
Or:
1. Go to Start -> Run and type msconfig, click OK.
2. In the System Configuration Utility, on the BOOT.INI tab, check /SAFEBOOT
3. Click OK.
4. When asked to restart the computer, click Restart.
>> To turn back to Normal Mode repeat the above 4 steps and uncheck /SAFEBOOT
D. Extra notes:
