Install antivirus software
1. To install Avast antivirus, first of all, you need to download the
installation file from the official avast website, the link of
which is given after the point no.5 of this review.
2. After downloading the installation file to your computer's hard drive, run
it. The Avast installation file, which the company provides at the moment,
is not an archive of program files, but simply begins to download them from
the Internet.
3. After downloading all the data, we are invited to start the installation
process. We can do this right away. But also, if desired, you can go to the
settings and leave to install only the components that we think are
necessary.
4. With the names of the services that we do not want to install, remove the
check mark. But, if you are not well versed in the principles of antivirus,
then, best of all, leave all the default settings, and go directly to the
installation process by clicking on the “Install” button.
But, even then, the installation will not start yet, as you will be offered to review the user's privacy agreement. If you agree to the provided conditions for using the program, click the "Continue" button.
5. Then, finally, the program installation process begins, after several minutes according to your internet speed. Its progress can be observed with the help of an indicator
located in the pop-up window of the tray.
Avast after installation procedures
After the installation process is completed, a window will open with a
message that Avast antivirus has been successfully installed. In order for
you to get into the program's startup window, we only have a few actions
to do. Click "Continue"
After that, a window opens in front of us, in which it is offered to
download a similar antivirus for a mobile device. Let's say we don't have
a mobile device, so we skip this step.
In the next window that opens, you offer the antivirus to try your
Safe Zone browser. But this action is not our goal, so we reject this
proposal.
At the end, a page opens, it is reported that the computer is protected.
It is also suggested to run an intelligent screening system. This step is
not recommended to skip the first time you run your antivirus. Therefore,
you need to run this type of scan for viruses, vulnerabilities, and other
system deficiencies.
Avast antivirus registration
Previously, Avast Free Antivirus was made available for one month
without any conditions. At the end of the month, to get the possibility
of free use of the program, it was required to pass a short registration
procedure directly through the antivirus interface. It was necessary to
enter the username and email. Thus, a person has the right to use the
antivirus for free for 1 year. This registration procedure must be
repeated every year.
But since 2016, Avast has revised its stance on this issue. In the
latest version of the program, no user registration is required, and
Avast Free Antivirus can be used indefinitely without any additional
action.
As you can see, installing Avast Free Antivirus is very simple and
intuitive. The developers, wanting to make the use of this program more
convenient for users, refused even the annual mandatory registration
process, as before.
