Title: Need Direct Download for New Build for Clean Install
Post by: SafeSurf on June 29, 2010, 11:20:24 AM

I realize that people have the ability to upgrade from existing versions of Avast, but for situations where users need to reinstall their software for a clean install, we need to have a file or link to be able to do this.  I try to help others in situations like this.

Can someone please direct me to this file/link since it was posted at one time and now is removed from the forum?  If needed, you can PM me.  Thank you.

If you need a pathway to installation from scratch, it will be:

1. Download the latest version of avast! Uninstall Utility (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html) and save it.
2. Download the latest avast! (http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html) version and save it.
3. Uninstall avast from Control Panel (if possible). If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after that.
4. Run the avast! Uninstall Utility saved on 1. If, for any reason, you can't run it, try booting in Safe Mode (http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml) and doing it from there. Anyway, boot after you've run it.
5. Install avast! using the setup saved on 2. Boot.
6. Register your free copy or add the license key for Pro.
7. Check and post the results.
