Title: Upgrading to pro edition of avast4
Post by: tatters on July 08, 2003, 04:03:03 AM

I downloaded and registered the home edition
and liked it so mush that I am downloading the pro 60 day trial and would like to know if I have to uninstall
the home edition first ??(worried about that after reading that it is hard to uninstall)

Please respond asap

Firstly, Avast is not hard to uninstall.  Sometimes with any program, some files do not come out cleanly with the uninstall program.
Avclear (for version 3) or Avclear4 (for version 4) can be downloaded from Alwil Trade Ltd. (www.alwil.com)  Avclear does exactly what it says....clears all of the leftover files of Avast.

Normally, with an upgrade, I would say that you could leave Avast Home installed since Avast Home and Pro share many of the same features and engine.........
however, to be sure of a clean install, I would remove Avast Home, use Avclear4 and then install the Pro version.

Good luck ;D
