updating avast secure browser
« on: April 29, 2018, 07:27:36 PM »
I installed Avast secure browser on to my desktop version 65.0.411.162 from stand alone installer.

I had already had Avast secure browser installed on my laptop version 64.0.388.186, so thought I would update to latest version with built in updater. But was informed that it was already up to date.

So I uninstalled Avast Secure Browser.
Used stand alone installer to install latest version onto my laptop.

Here's the reply from the Developers:
"We still have this switched off whilst we finish our testing of the update process.
Once complete we’ll enable this for all users so everyone will receive the latest version automatically"

I reinstalled windows 10, on my laptop.

Installed Avast secure Browser version 65.0.411.162

But on my desktop I have version 65.0.411.162 out of date.
Is there a way to check for latest version, inbuilt updater still says up to date.

My mistake I should have put version 65.2.491.181.

What is the easiest way to check for latest version.

I tried that earlier on the desktop, had no update. Must have tried before latest release.
When i installed it on my laptop must have been just released.

Will try again latter when I boot up my desktop.

Thanks for your assistance bod3160 :)

As far as I know, the update function isn't yet available.

Thanks bob3160 You are correct :)

I downloaded version 65.2.491.181. and installed over the top.

Would be nice if avast opened a thread when Avast Secure Browser is updated.
There used to be a topic where avast posted updates and changes.

At the moment I do not have a clue if avast has updated their browser or not.  So hope they hurry up and get the built in updater to work.
