Hi,
Go to the Avast Antivirus homepage (www.avira.com). Once it is loaded, go to the "Desktop Solutions" tab at the top of the page.
Go to the left on the next page and click on Home Edition. You will
then be brought to a page where you can either download the software
directly or register. Click on the register tab.
Enter your email address, your name and confirm that you are only using
the program for personal use. Click the Submit button and wait for an
email. Leave this window open.
Once
you receive your registration key, go back to the registration/download
page and click on Download. When the pop-up window opens, make sure to
save the binary file to your desktop.
Run
the setup program that you just downloaded and confirm all of your
information. When prompted, make sure you select the typical
configuration, unless you are comfortable customizing antivirus
software.
Once the installation has finished, restart your computer. After your computer boots back up, open Avast and insert the registration key that you received in your email.
Set
your antivirus auto-scan. I find it is best to pick a weekly time when
you know your computer will be on but you won't be doing anything
important. After you set other preferences, you'll be done and Avast
will take care of your computer's protection all by itself.
Best regards.
