Resolved:I was wanting to ask a question about Avast free

HI I was wondering if I could ask a question about program updates and avast free version. I was wondering when a program update is available and the program update function in the main window of avast free turns red and it has an update beside it I was just wondering do you actually have to push update yourself or will avast free update it self Automatically.

thanks I was just curious that is all

I did update avast program update myself for both computers

thanks have a great day.

It depends if the settings are on “Notifie” or on “automatic”…i think notifie is the default setting

If sett to automatic it will do it in the next 7 days

Nothing stopping you from initiating a manual program update from the avastUI as you did, which is the best thing to do if you know one has been released (great for forum regulars); rather than wait your turn in the 7 day program update cycle.
