Avast Free Antivirus is Failing to Install

[REDACTED]

I am trying to install using the most recent download of Avast Free. I have already tried cleaning my file system and registry.

[Asyn]

Try OpenDNS or GoogleDNS.

[REDACTED]

Neither worked.

- Which version of Avast Free..?
- OS..? (32/64 Bit..? - which SP/Build..?)
- Other security related software installed..?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast..?

[REDACTED]

What ever version is downloaded from the main Avast website.
OS: Win 7 64bit SP1
Malwarebytes
Avira and Malwarebytes

First, be sure to get rid of all remnants of your prior installed AV(s)..!!
-> https://support.avast.com/article/11/

Then:
1. Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
2. Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions..!!)
3. Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
4. Reboot.
