Avast on the go.

Hi everyone:

I am a part time computer technician, and i am over at people’s houses all the time fixing thier computers, so i was wondering if there is a way that i could use My AV Pro edition on thier computer without auctually installing it?

Kinda a “on the go” edition.

Thanks

Short answer is no, your Pro license is for installation on one system.

Unless you slave their hard disk, but I don’t know how effective that would be or if it would be against any terms of use, etc.

There is the Bart CD version of avast, which is geared up to mobile techs, but it isn’t cheap.

Thanks for the Reply. That kinda sucks for me. Alot of the times when i am working on other peoples computer, i have to slave thier drives to mine, and i can scan it from there, However it does not pick up some things when trying it as a slave. Most of the time i will turn thier computer on and just install the free version, that normally fixes whatever problem it is, I was just trying to get a mobile version…Oh Well…

Thanks for the help anyway.

p.s I don’t think running my AV pro on someone’s slave Disk is against the Rules ( but im not sure), I DOnt install it on thier system, i just run it from mine… If it was possible to run across a network, that would help alot.

you have ClamWin that can be run from USB http://portableapps.com/
