I am trying to install (to basically try out) some of the free Antivir/firewalls like AVG & Zonealarm. I thought I would first get the full download of installer package file (like full exe) and then run it separately on whatever system I wish to try.

However it first downloads a small 3 MB installer which would then download & install thru internet.

Now installer won't proceed saying I already have COMODO installed. The catch is I do not want to remove exisitng COMODO right now, as internet will be used for actual download and the installer won't proceed unless existing is cleaned!!

Unfortunately, looks like a full standalone installer package as .exe is not available for these tryout/free versions.
Any suggestions to resolve this would be great...Thx

Firewalls Downloads - FileHippo.com
Anti-Malware Downloads - FileHippo.com

a very good site to directly download setups unlike using those annoying online installer now being used by many sites.

Whitestar is right, use offline installers above.

Using more than one security application of same type is not recommended at all if you want a good security package then remove comodo first.
