Just received my new laptop today and I am in the process of setting it up. I downloaded Avast and I am in the process of installing it. I am currently at the installation screen and I am looking for help configuring the install. I choose custom install because I am sure that there are things that I do not need. Specifically I would like to know if I should include Components, avast! gadget, remote assistance, browser cleanup, and software updater. Thanks in advance for any help.
I suggest you watch the following tutorial and make sure you get rid of any previous Antivirus programs before you install avast!
