But my office computer doesn't have an internet connection

 

[nims11]

you can register from anywhere and get the key

But my office computer doesn't have an internet connection

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

I think the free versions are for non commercial use only. In any case would recommend you to get Avira.
