Avast! Antivirus Silent Install

[Dobby]

I've not seen much posted about Avast! Antivirus. I think it's a great virus checker and has some excellent features, is constantly updated with new virus definitions and versions and the best bit... it's free for home use!!!

Anyway, thought someone might like to know the silent install switches and AutoIt script for installing the registration key (Yes you need to register even though it's free. Not bad though). You need to run avast once installed then run this script to register it.

Silent switches:

Setup.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SP-

AutoIt Registration Script (replace the X's with your key):

WinWait("Registration")
WinActivate("Registration")
Send("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX {ENTER}")

WinWait("avast! - simple user interface")
WinClose("avast! - simple user interface")
WinClose("avast! Simple User Interface")

Hope this helps someone.

Additionally you may specify the path where to install Avast Antivirus:

Setup.Exe /destpath "%ProgramFiles%\Your\Favorite\Path" /verysilent /norestart /sp-
