does the computer have internet connection ?



if so, download from here and install  http://filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/

and how to register

On-line registration is very simple and it's the preferred method for all users of avast Free Antivirus 5.x installed on a computer with standard Internet connectivity. To perform on-line registration follow these steps:

Once your laptop is on-line, install it the same as you would on any PC.
If it's off-line, download the program to a USB or CD and install from there.

the one you are going to install avast on....is it online ?.....see my post above


if off line do as bob3160 say..

VERY IMPORTANT: any previous used or preinstalled antivirus must be uninstalled before you install avast

Just to add to what Pondus just said - download avast and the removal tool for your current installed AV first and save before uninstalling your AV ( Uninstall tools here http://singularlabs.com/uninstallers/security-software/ ) once uninstalled reboot and run the removal tool, reboot again and install avast then register and reboot one last time  :)

Why go to the "filehippo" website? Why not just download directly from avast.com??
