Title: does it auto update ?
Post by: Nontechguy on March 07, 2005, 09:50:06 PM

Hi ... Does this free version ( 4.6 ) auto update the definitions ? And also can it be set up to auto scan the computer ? ( scheduler a scan )

TIA ...

For automatic updates, just configure the two pages of settings for update (Basic and Advanced).
For scheduling scans, only the Professional version has automatic ones. Free version is much more complicated and limited in this feature (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=3796)

I feel like a real computer dummy!
Where are these pages located? 
I just installed Avast!Home (free)

Duh, thanks, I'm kinda slow today.  I shoulda figured a right -click.
I guess uninstalling NAV and firewall and then installing ZAP and Avast!---too much inof at once, ;)
