I am trying to install using the most recent download of Avast Free. I have already tried cleaning my file system and registry.
Try OpenDNS or GoogleDNS.
Neither worked.
- Which version of Avast Free…?
- OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
- Other security related software installed…?
- Which AV(s) did you use before Avast…?
What ever version is downloaded from the main Avast website.
OS: Win 7 64bit SP1
Malwarebytes
Avira and Malwarebytes
First, be sure to get rid of all remnants of your prior installed AV(s)…!!

Then:
- Download Avast Free Antivirus: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avast_free_antivirus_setup_offline.exe
- Follow instructions: https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility (Run this tool for all prior installed Avast versions…!!)
- Reinstall Avast with the downloaded installer from point 1.
- Reboot.

Thank you. I will try this now.
OK, you’re welcome.
Looks like that worked. Thanks again!
NP, glad I could help.
