AVG Antivirus FREE 2015's Reinstallation

Hello Vineet. Glad to know that your issue is resolved. I understand that you are here because you are still not sure of how this process actually works. I would like to let you know that AVG Free and all other version have license numbers but the license number in the AVG Free version will be inbuilt within the software and it doesn't need any manual activation during the installation process. You can prefer any way of installation either offline or online because the size of the product is same and it is about to consume the same space in the installation folder. Only in case, if you have removed license number accidentally in the free version you must activate the product again manually. Hope this will make you understand the process. Thank you.

Hi ,
Thanks to both of you. Balasubramanian making a quick reply and Alan giving a finishing touch!
Though my problem solved, i would like to add and enquire that :
1. To install by online installer windows firewall settings needs to be adjusted !
2. And i don't know what & when should be allowed even before actual installation and in the middle !!??
3. Though both of you are saying license key is not required for free programs (here: AVG free antivirus       2015), still it is provided,isn't it !?
4. And for others who are not short of space, go for the fresh download of full offline installer (version as       applied) while your present programme is still working .Then disconnect the internet, uninstall the             existing Antivirus programme(s) and install the pretty fine AVG Antivirus Free 2015 (for home users         only)

Sir/Madam,
I am happy with my AVG free product. It has increased my laptop's (win7, sp1, 64, ultimate, 4.00ghz processor and 2gb RAM) performance many ways. But everytime i uninstall and reinstall my AVG Free Antivirus 2015, i face the fatal possibility of getting infected. As its an online installer (avg_free_stb_all_2015_ltst_284.exe), my computer bears the risk till the time it gets fully installed and activated.
Besides, i have seen the full free offline installer for that (187mb, 64bits).  But the 4.8 mb installer has priority over that and put as RECOMMENDED.
So, my question is 1.Can i avoid this risk anyway?
                              2.What's the difference between the two installers? (apart from being online and                                          offline installers)
                              3. Anything else !!??
--------------------------------------
Regards and Thanks,

Hello Vineet. I certainly understand your concern. If you download the setup file from the online installer which is of small size it will start the installation only after downloading the full files through online and the files are downloaded only from trusted AVG websites so need not worry of getting affected. The offline installer file size which is of huge file size will have all the components of the AVG program in it and if you run that file it will straight away install the program. Please feel free to contact us again should you need any further assistance.
Hi Kishore,
thanks for the reply! now everything is clear to me.

Vineet, A license key is not required for AVG Free Edition. For the 32 & 64bit off-line install files see this webpage (http://free.avg.com/ww-en/download-free-all-product).
