Ok, understand, 56k isn’t so quick, so IMHO I would save your downloaded Avast to a CD/RW so that you have a copy but at the same time you can overwrite the CD with newer copies as you get the time and the internet connection.
However, once you have downloaded your first copy, Avast will check with their own Servers on a regular basis (can be done manually as well) and keep not only your virus defanition file bang up tp date (very quick) but also the program is updated as well. You can configure how/when all this is done.
So unless there are any real MAJOR program changes you will always be up to date… not usually any need to un-install the previous version… except for any development hickups
Well, if you dont want to register nothing…then you will not be able to continue the use of Avast. It reguires a registration code which you will be sent via email.
Once you have the code, the use of Avast, along with program and database updates are FREE.
The registration only takes a minute, and believe me, the information you provide is minimal, basically your email address.
YOU WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY SPAM FROM AVAST, OR ANY UNWANTED EMAIL ADS.
The decision is yours.
Good luck no matter what you choose to do.
