As a matter of interest how do the program updates work. Do they require an uninstall of the older version and reinstall of the new version or do I just install over the old version and am able to keep all my settings?

I think that’s the best part about avast. I think you should look forward to it! ;D

avast! will notify you automatically as soon as an update is ready. Then, with a single mouse click you can tell it to do the update. The update is pretty fast because it is incremental - a typical update of the whole program usually does not exceed 400K.

And of course, all your settings stay preserved. :wink:
