Avast Free Edition download link not working
« on: January 02, 2011, 11:53:02 PM »
The download link for the free edition is not working at the following page:

http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

If anyone from Alwin monitors this forum, I thought you might want to know this so that the link can be fixed.

The download links for the Professional edition and AIS both work.

Well it's not working for me  :(

This needs to be addressed quickly.

(Judging by your picture YoKenny, this wasn't from the avast website.)

Using Firefox, Chrome or other browser ???

The free version is from Brothersoft for me:

In chrome it's not working. Doesn't show the download option.

It does in IE9, Opera and Firefox

It's not working for me in either Firefox 3.6.13 or IE8. To be clear, I'm talking about the download button at the bottom of the product description. The download buttons for the Pro and Internet Security editions do work.

Someone at Alwil really does need to fix this. Does Alwil monitor this particular forum?

The link rwaters posted works in Opera 11 and takes you to cnet.com for downloading.
Perhaps it has been fixed now.

If you prefer to download directly from avast , go to the link below. I prefer this link as it will more likely have the latest download.
