Just install the new version over the old one. I've been doing this since version 0.37.4
without any problems.

I have been reading what people on this forum has to say about ClamWin non resident scanner
I have downloaded it and will install at a latter date.

just curious do they use Incremental updates as i am on dial up

Plus should i allow it to install the add-on to my mail
Microsoft outlook"as i use avast to scan it now.

I tried to find answers to these sorry if they have been answered by anyone else.

Cheers crofty59

ClamWin uses the database from the linux based ClamAV. There is one large Main database file which is about 1.5MB - 2MB, and a Daily update which is a few hundred KBs.

You can have it scan your outlook mail, it doesn't clash with avast!. It does however slow down outlook as each message is scanned by two scanners when one is opened.

I've already uninstalled v.7.2 first and then installed v.8
No problems.The new look is very cool and the sheduler with "low priority" function is very useful.
Thank you for the replyes.Now I know how to upgrade to newer version but ther's one thing I don't understand
Bitdefender free 8   expires on 3/12/2006
When it expires how to re register.In the help file you can find this:

For BitDefender 8 Free Edition you do not have a registration process.
Maybe just reinstall.

I think not... they expect that until that date, another version will be released.
The old one won't even run...
