Getting hold of Avast Mobile
« on: September 15, 2013, 04:47:17 PM »
Greetings. First post, new member.  I want to get Avast Mobile on to my Samsung GT-i9300.  I do not want to open a Google account (too many intimate questions) and I do not want to send my banking details into the ether without protection on the phone.  I did look into the Play store, but am not allowed to download the free version without creating a Google account.  The Avast site just throws me back to the Play store.  The air in here is blue.  I sought the free version to protect my details while buying the Premium version.  Is there a way to dowload some sort of Avast Mobile file to my Avast protected PC and pay via my PC then transfer the file, or whatever, to the phone, please?  As a doddery old so-and-so I am struggling to master the phone itself without needing extra hassle.  Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.  I am already very impressed by the vast amount of knowledge and experience offered by other forum members.

Phase two - I have gone for Kaspersky instead.  Problem solved.

Well you need google account for downloading the application from Google Play, but you do not need it for having avast on your phone (until you will buy it); you can also download apk from http://apk.ff.avast.com/AvastMobileSecurity.apk
