Hi all,
I have Avast Home on two computers. I am considering upgrading to Avast Professional. I notice that you can download the program, and also get a "backup CD". What would be the purpose in getting the backup CD? I ask this because some years ago I bought the download version of a big name antivirus program. I was sort of surprised to find that when I downloaded the program it self-installed and I didn't have a program that I could reinstall if I did have problems. As it turned out I had a lot of problems getting the program to work. The company fix was to uninstall and reinstall the program. After three repetitions of this and the program still wouldn't work, I was again told to just redownload it again. But, it seems that when you bought the program it only entitled you to download (install) it three times. After that you had to purchase the program again. I really don't want to go through that again and will never purchase a product from that company again. So my question to Avast is, if I buy two licenses to Avast Professional, in the download version, am I going to get a program that I can save on a CD or DVD and reload it when and if I need to? If I download the free version I get a 300kb installer but the program is 189 MB. I really don't want to repeat the bloodsucking nightmare I went through with the other company.
Thanks for the help,
PAK
