how to update from free 4.8 to 5

Is the free version 5 a stable release or this still beta testing?
My free 4.8 shows no update available.

Stable. Just uninstall 4.8 and download from avast.com avast 5.

thanks. Do I need a special 4.8 removal tool or just use add/remove in windows?

Add/remove on Windows quite sufficient.

Thanks! 8)

Update:
I have 5 installed and the free version is working fine under windows 7.
Thanks Avast!

Nice. Avast is high quality product. :slight_smile:

Whether there will be in general an auto update from version 4.8 to version 5?
