Post by: dragonladyc on April 22, 2013, 05:56:54 PM

I just recently installed the free version of Avast, my question is, is there a license with the free version?

Thank you

NO...you just need to register for a free year....then after a year, you register again

Thank you very much!   :)  This is going to take some getting used too. I had Norton for many years, but recent problems forced me find another antivirus.

I have another question, does avast automatically update or do I have to do it. If I do, where do I check for the updates?
Thanks again

Here is a little video that Bob made .. Although it is for windows 8 the premise is the same http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utlRAxGyTnM

EDIT:  Avast auto updates, just install and forget  ;D

Thanks, so you're saying it is an auto update?
