I see 4.7 is officially out. I have it set to tell me when new updates are out. When I get that message, will it just update with a small file?
The program updates are released but to avoid excessive load on the servers the auto update check happens
randomically every 7 days and it's not checking every time you connect to the Internet as with the iAVS checks.
You can however, as you have found perform a manual update. Monitoring the forum
ALWIL Software Announcements will give forum regulars a heads up on any announcements, like updates, etc. So forum users have another benefit.
See what Vlk explains here:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=13927.msg118070#msg118070For some reason I thought I heard somewhere to uninstall the 4.6 I have now before putting on the 4.7. Is that correct, or am I senile? (I guess both could be true....)
No, no need for that... just invoke the update
