Offline version of Avast 2015
« on: March 27, 2015, 03:31:41 PM »
I'm having a problem getting the standalone(offline) installer for Avast 2015. I downloaded a small setup file from  http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup.exe that performed a scan and then reported the following error :



The standalone file (free version) is about 143 MB. The file I downloaded from the above link, avast_free_antivirus_setup is only 5.9 MB.  Of course, I still have my old version of Avast still installed to allow protection during the download. Is there a better link for the download. Or, am I at the right place and why the error ?

Try the online stub installer:

Avast Free Antivirus

The full one sometimes has SFX issues, that is why I recommend the stub one.
Windows 10 Home 64-bit • Avast Free (latest stable version) •  Malwarebytes 4 Premium (On-Demand) • Windows Firewall Control • Google Chrome • LastPass • CCleaner • O&O ShutUp10 •

Thanks for your assistance. I successfully downloaded the full installation file. I'll disable my network adapter and then run Avast's uninstall utility in Safe mode before trying the install of the new download.
