Title: 396
Post by: Duchess44 on February 04, 2010, 06:34:29 PM

Just wondering if this is the latest build?  I haven't tried installing it over what I have now (4.8) but I want to.  I have seen so many problems posted both here and on other forums.  Is it ok to do?

And if so, does anyone have a recommendation so far as settings?  I am fairly new so please speak in plain english :)

5.0.396 is the latest build.  If you already have version 4 installed I would recommend that you uninstall 4 first - then install version 5.  I know what the FAQ's say about installing 5 over the top of 4 but I tried that and ran into problems.  Uninstalling 4 first seems the safest and best way to go.

If it was me, I would uninstall version 4 first.

Download 'aswclear' from the avast website, uninstall version 4, run 'aswclear' and then install version 5.0.396.

Then you should be able to register on-line through the program itself if it's the free version. If you buy the pro version you will get an email with a license file.

HTH, Gizbar.
