    I think there is something strange about this giveaway. I have been trying since the start. I know of 5 occasions of refreshing the page and the question changed. I had to be the one of the first 100 to answer. 8 days later still no key! :doubt:
    Just like the little engine that could, I will keep trying. :rolleyes:

    As far as I know, there is one same question each 24-hour period, unless you by chance refresh at the cut off and so another question appeared. I got the same question with the 24-hour period.

    I'm living in the UTC +1 (Central European Time) zone. If i got the time I just visited the page and answer the question. For fun, maybe I get lucky... :) ;) Now, when do they change the question, and not only in my time zone. There must be a pattern.

    yeh I'm refreshing the page quite often for the last few days and nothing :(

    Is it always on the dot? E,g, 12.00 1.00 2.00 etc?

    Dont leave the page open.

    I left the page open on the first night and people reported that it changed. Even after refreshing I wasnt able to see the change until I closed to page and navigated to it again through my bookmarks.

    Thank you Avast
    Just won a license of one year to Avast! Internet Security :D And it is going to be tested to its limit, mostly because of Avast is going to be run on my son's PC. If Avast can handle that then I'm impressed.

    Thank you Avast:D :thumb:

    Thanks, Avast.

    Yes! finally won one :) Normally I always answered as fast after a new question was up, also one time about just 5 minutes after, now I read whitedragon's post about a new question 30 minutes later, so I waited to reach the hour mark again and then answered it, and it worked :) Though it won't be of help to others because of the changes kjdemuth mentioned.

    Lol, no computer is kid-proof :p

    Congrats to all you lucky winners! I submitted literally within seconds of the question changing last night, but no joy.:(
    I'll keep my fingers crossed for the rest of us!

    I have a desktop and a notebook. That's why I need 2 licenses. Remember that free licenses usually won't allow you to use it on more than 1 PCs, contrary to the purchased license which is for 3 PCs. I don't think it is a good idea to use the same license on many PCs. Is it wrong or not moral to get two licenses for my desktop and my notebook?

    Good luck and keep the faith!

    It's changed to every 20th person get's a license, so 2000 entries are needed before the licenses are already gone.
