New version

I haven’t updated yet because I read some posts about some people having problems with it. I want to do a custom install so should I uninstall the version I’m using now before I update?

  1. Backup your existing Avast Settings. These settings can be applied after an update, whichever one you choose to do.

  2. Do a system backup image as previously mentioned.

Then you can pretty much do what you like. The Program update was released on 09 October 2018, so 3 weeks is a very long time when you are talking about a program update every month.

Considering there hundreds of millions of Avast users, do you not expect to see some issues reported in a support forum.

I’m uninstalling then going to reinstall

Edit

Now have the new version installed
