Where are the links to the offline installer? ???
I prefer the full installer. No full installer, no download. ???

Hi. We are testing new mechanism in online installers.

Personally I find on-line installers (not specifically for beta builds):

1. much slower than downloading the full off-line installer on fast broadband.

2. my major concern with on-line installers specifically is for installing a new AV, you are in effect on-line with no protection - if you do as is commonly recommended - as you have uninstalled your previous AV or you don’t have one.

3. if you haven’t gone for removal of your previous AV - now you are potentially in the conflict scenario - which could lead to a failed or corrupt installation.

That same problem also holds true when you remove Avast and it takes to the internet for a survey ???
No protection so I’ll throw you out to the wolves! Not a Good Idea.
The online survey should happen before the removal not after.
