The download link available on the official Avast website links to the web installer of Avast free antivirus. Installing Avast using this file requires an active Internet connection for the full package to be downloaded. Googling “Avast redistributable download” brought up a lot of spammy looking websites which hosted the file on file sharing sites.

I got hold of the direct Avast redistributable download URL:
