Hello !
I’m Avast 4.8 free edition user and i saw that there is now a new version named 5.0
I’d like to change for the new one, but i don’t know how to do : Do I have to uninstall 4.8 before download 5.0 and how to uninstall my old Avast ? (i didn’t find tool to uninstall)

Thanks. Greetings from France !

I’ve installed new version instead old version, Restart computer and it working fine.
So I recommended to do Pondus’s step to be sure.
