The 'Avast' file is 89MB and although my download speed is fairly slow it has never prevented me from downloading much larger file successfully. I am useing Win XP Pro, Inernet Express.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Quote from: paulo Unfortunately 'Avast' like other security programs do not allow the use of download managers/accelerators etc. for security reasons.
That is not true - I used the download manager mentioned earlier to download avast! without any trouble at all.

Do you get any time outs when downloading other software ?
Try using another browser.

Pretty sure I was using Free Download Manager with Avast (Free) on Windows 7 (32 bit) for a while with no problems.
[Edit] Added 'Free' to clarify Avast version previously used.

Quote from: paulo Have been trying to download from CNET as all download links seem to end up there. Think this may be Avasts choosen distributer.
You can also download from the Avast website here http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

"Windows found problem with this file. Unknown publisher. This file blocked because it does not have a valid signature."
(Mike I.T. Works)....I do not loose internet connection. Not tried downloading other files since having this problem as I have uninstalled my AV with the hope of trying Avast AV.
Any more ideas PLEASE as I feel my CP is ganging up on me!

Do you have an alternative computer that you could test your connection with? Or do you have a smartphone or a friend with a laptop to see if you get the same problem? This would confirm if the issue is with your connection or your computer.

Once download completes one can double-click the file to install the application as normal.
I've just downloaded Firefox 15.0.1 using IE9 on Vista to verify saving to disk works. Didn't follow up with an install since I already have it.
