Will Avast! 4.8 Home automatically update to Avast! 5 Home?
« on: January 18, 2010, 05:54:54 PM »
I formatted my pc two days ago and installed Avast! 4.8 home 15-20 minuted ago. I tried Avast! 5 Home beta before the format, it's really good but now i want to use full release, this is the reason why i installed Avast! 4.8 Home edition now. Will Avast! 4.8 Home automatically update to Avast! 5 Home after it's going to be the full version? Greetings from Istanbul :).

I think that Avast's staff said that yes, 4.8 Home version will update itself to Avast 5 - Free version.  :)
Intel Core i7 Q 740 @ 1.73 GHz, 6 GB RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1, Avast! Free Antivirus, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version) and Sandboxie (paid version).

Hi,

I certainly hope (and expect) that the process will not be totally automatic.

My regards

i guess that depends on what settings you are using in 4.8
Automatic update or Ask when update is available
