There is no fixed update schedule, this is the same for both versions.
The auto update process checks for updates when you first connect and every 4 hours if you remain connected. If a VPS update is available then it will be downloaded and you get the opo-up and audible notification it has been done.
In version 4.8 both programs Home and Pro are updated at the same timeā¦ that means that the updates are available for both versions at the same timeā¦
this will probably change with avast! 5, but Iām not able to give you any detailed informationā¦ (but it wonāt be a decreasement of update-rapidness for the home-version but a rapidness-increasement for the professional versionā¦)
hey I was just trying to help defence... But are the updates really 'sent'?
Sent? Perhaps, you mean downloaded? Or if you mean updates are āsentā by ALWIL then, it is certainly yes. Why would we use an AV with no updates? Youāll get this proved by the increase on file size on avastās installation in add/remove programs & you may also check this via C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\setup.txt
Or is it the software that connects to the avast site n checks for updates?
The antivirus itself [avast antivirus] connects to the site & download & install updates.
Then... I think this solves the problem... Unless u may want 2 try the pro version n the home version simultaneously to check...
This would cause conflict to the two AV even though they are from the same compan or probably, since i havenāt tried this yet, theyāll just over-install each other. The safest way would be to check avast website for what is the latest program version & VPS.
