But my office computer doesn't have an internet connection

you can register from anywhere and get the key

yeah getting the key is one extra step in free version of Avast..
but in Avira there is no such key hassle..just install & be secure...

also Avira provides offline updates :mrgreen:

I think the free versions are for non commercial use only. In any case would recommend you to get Avira.
Link: Download AntiVir Personal 12.0.0.861 - FileHippo.com

ok thanks. for everybody

now another problem surfaced.... i made an offline registration and avast mailed me a registration no. and it was for version 5.... but what i've installed is version 6. so i replied back that mail citing my case but there's no response... please help

Yup I think that's better

How about AVG free version.

I have Avast but I want to change. Kindly suggest the lightest AV. Shouldn't be eating up my bandwidth or RAM. Avast eats up a little bit of bandwidth unless you disable that needless protection setting.

Microsoft Security Essentials. It's least disruptive, doesn't really hog much bandwidth and is light enough.

Alright I will try that.
