4.8 Pro vs. 4.7?

[Nailzaz]

I logged onto Avast's site today and saw that version 4.8 is now available. I'm currently a registered user with v. 4.7 Pro on two computers, but I couldn't find an "upgrade" link.

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade price?
Is there a good reason to upgrade?

Thank you again,
Paul in Arizona

Hi Paul!

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade price?

Upgrade to 4.8 is for free! (until your license expires you can upgrade to any new version)

I couldn't find an "upgrade" link

To upgrade just do a program-update!

Is there a good reason to upgrade?

Of course, for example the rootkitscan

Thanks! That worked. I thought it would just update itself.

Much appreciated it.

It would just update itself, eventually. The program updates are on a 7 day cycle to balance server load as the update size can be quite large. It depends on the luck of the dray if you are on day 1 of the cycle or day 7. So being active on the forums, you get to know in advance of others.
