Page 1 of cannot register avast antivirus

I have installed avast antivirus and am trying to register it but i cannot get onto the avast website using either firefox or internet explorer. I guess it is some virus or spyware and have run avast and spybot and ad-aware, yet the problem has not gone. Has anyone any ideas how I can solve this? :/

If its the free version, uninstall and reinstall i would suggest :)

might be down, try using google if you havent already. You normally recieve an email from them with the key, but that can take 24 hrs sometimes, Though I can get on it with explorer. Have you got your privacy settings set to high.

thanks for the advice, I have now registered by going on the website of a friends computer but I am still unable to get on the avast website from my computer, the browser just timeouts. Any ideas?

Can you ping avast.com? (Start / run.../ cmd / ping avast.com)

Doesn`t look like it. Below is the result.
