Can I install "Internet Security" without Firewall
« on: March 28, 2012, 05:33:41 AM »
I am about to buy my Avast license, having trialed "PRO" version.

My question, can the full "Internet Security" version be installed WITHOUT the Avast firewall?

Reason: I want to retain my current third party firewall program.

Regards.

Choose "Custom install" at the start and keep looking out for it.
You can check/uncheck most components.

Thank you people, much appreciate your answering.

My last AV for a few years was AVG but to upgrade to 2012 I had to (quote) delete my firewall software completely, install the upgrade, then reinstall my Firewall (AVG won't install if it gets even a sniff of another FW!!).

Anybod appreciate just how long it can take to set up an FW on a busy machine properly? So I won't touch anything with such unfair marketing practices.

Anyhoo, thanks again and I'll get the full monty "Internet Security". Have been happy with the "pro" trial so far.

Best regards and have a great day.
