How to manually Update Avast 4.5 home

Hi to all, i have installed avast home edition 4.5.517.
I would like to update it with the new release 4.5.549, is it possible to do it manually, without to be connected at the net?
Have i to remove avast first and then install the program again or is there any update function that i can use?
Many thanks in advance for your reply and Merry Christmas to everibody!

Just download the setup program for the apropriate language from the download section of our web site.

When executed on a machine with avast already installed, it will detect the current installation and will offer you to do an update.

Why does this does not occurs most times?
I mean, when I run the new setup.exe file off line, I have to uninstall the previous version before :cry:
We lost all configurations and settings…
Why doesn’t avast work like lots of applications (AntiVir, for instance) that allows to run a new version setup.exe and update without the need for uninstallation? ::slight_smile:

(I’m not talking about ‘language’ conflicts because this happen with the same language setup.exe of even the full (28,156 Mb) setup)

It should work.
What is the error message and what are the versions?

Igor, thanks for asking…
I lost this thread among the tons of the others ;D
I apologize, you and Vlk, the update feature works perfectly even in the off computer. I tested from 4.1.418 and from 4.5.xxx to 4.5.549 8)
