    Help with installing a free antivirus offline...
    « on: March 20, 2016, 09:12:50 AM »
    I need to install an antivirus on a laptop that does not have internet connection. I need to transfer this file to it via pen drive.

    I have tried various antiviruses like Avast, Bitdefender but these require internet connection during installation. What can I do?

    If it doesn't have internet connection you shouldn't need an AV. Do you intend to go on-line after the AV is installed? What OS is on that computer?

    Most, if not all antivirus producers make offline installers available, for example

    Avast:
    https://www.avast.com/download-software

    Bitdefender:

    Eset:

    Google "product name offline antivirus installer", to find others, but be aware it is safest to get these things direct from the app official website.

    Save offline installer to a pen drive or burn to a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM to install on offline machine.

      ^Yes you're right, after this starting this thread I immediately tried googling one and found Avast on FileHippo.

      Thanks
