3. AVG Installation Process
To install AVG on your computer, you need to get the latest installation file. You can use the installation file from the CD that is a part of your box edition but this file might be out-of-date. Therefore we recommended getting the latest installation file online.
You can download the file from the AVG website (at http://www.avg.com/download?
prd=msw )
Note: There are two installation packages available for your product - for 32bit operating systems (marked as x86) and for 64bit operating systems (marked as x64).
Be sure to use the correct installation package for your specific operating system..
During the installation process you will be asked for your license number. Please make sure you have it available before starting the installation. The number can be found in the CD packaging. If you purchased your copy of AVG on-line, your license number will have been delivered to you via e-mail.
Once you have downloaded and saved the installation file on your hard drive, you can launch the installation process. The installation is a sequence of dialog windows with a brief description of what do at each step. In the following, we offer an explanation for each dialog window:
3.1. Installation Launch
The installation process starts with the Welcome window. In here you select the language used for the installation process and read the license conditions. Use the
Printable version button to open the license text in a new window. Press the Accept button to confirm and continue to the next dialog.

Attention: You will be able to choose also additional languages for the application interface later during the installation process.
3.2. Activate Your License
In the Activate your License dialog you have to fill in your license number.
Enter your license number into the License Number text field. The license number will be in the confirmation e-mail that you received after purchasing your AVG on-line. You must type in the number exactly as shown. If the digital form of the license number is available (in the email), it is recommended to use the copy and paste method to insert it.
Press the Next button to continue the installation process.

3.3. Select Installation Type
The Select type of Installation dialog offers the choice of two installation options:
Quick Install and Custom Install.
For most users, it is highly recommended to keep to the Quick Install that installs
AVG in fully automatic mode with settings predefined by the program vendor. This configuration provides maximum security combined with the optimal use of resources.
In the future, if the need arises to change the configuration, you will always have the possibility to do so directly in the AVG application.
Custom Install should only be used by experienced users who have a valid reason to install AVG with non-standard settings. E.g. to fit specific system requirements.

3.4. Custom Install - Custom Options
The Destination folder dialog allows you to specify the location where AVG should be installed. By default, AVG will be installed to the program files folder located on drive
C:. If you want to change this location, use the Browse button to display the drive structure, and select the respective folder.
The Component selection section displays an overview of all AVG components that can be installed. If the default settings do not suit you, you can remove/add specific components.
However, you can only select from components that are included in your purchased AVG edition. Only those components will be offered to be installed within the Component Selection dialog!
· AVG Remote Admin Client - if you intend to connect AVG to an AVG
DataCenter (AVG Network Editions), then you need to select this option.
Note: Only server components available in the list can be managed remotely!
·
·
Settings Manager - a tool suitable mainly for network administrators that allows you to copy, edit and distribute AVG configuration. The configuration can be saved to a portable device (USB flash drive etc.) and then applied manually or any other way to chosen stations.
Additional Installed Languages - you can define which language(s) AVG should be installed in. Check the Additional installed languages item and then select the desired languages from the respective menu.
