I downloaded AVG Anti Virus on one computer and tried to copy it to a stand alone computer but it says that I need to connect to the internet.

Is there a way to bypass the proxy and the need of internet connection?

    Though if the computer is stand-alone do you really need anti virus software? You can check any exe you might want to install on another machine and your main vector, the internet, isn't available. – ChrisF Aug 17 '11 at 20:01
  • @ Brendan, You might explain why you need to do it this way, maybe there is a better answer to your real problem. – Moab Aug 17 '11 at 21:23
  • After some searching I found the 2016 full installer: http://www.avg.com/ww-en/download.prd-afh-free – AresAvatar Jun 28 '16 at 00:41

Is the installer you are using the offline installer or the online one? The offline one should be around ~170-190 MB depending upon your OS (32 vs 64 bit), whereas the online one is ~5.1 MB. You can find the offline installer here (updated Aug 10, 2011).

Do note that to update your virus definitions at a later date, you would need to download the update definitions as mentioned by music2myear:

After you've installed AVG using the offline installer Jay linked to, once a week or so, download definition update files to keep the antivirus software up to date and scanning for the most recent viruses.

Despite what Jay says, you do not need to download and reinstall a fresh version of the AVG app to keep it updated.
