Did you mean program update?
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.
My VPS, 090801-0 1.8.2009.
that is the latest one pal. you dont have to worry…
Defence: Then… I think this solves the problem… Unless u may want 2 try the pro version n the home version simultaneously to check…
You would need 2 systems to do that and even then the 4 hour checkup time would be different.
On my 2 systems they usually update within 2 hours of each other depending on which system was booted first and used longest.
In version 4.8 both programs Home and Pro are updated at the same time… that means that the updates are available for both versions at the same time…
this will probably change with avast! 5, but I’m not able to give you any detailed information… (but it won’t be a decreasement of update-rapidness for the home-version but a rapidness-increasement for the professional version…)
yeah sure that u would need 2 systems… but can’t u boot the two systems n manually click update now from the program menu?
how do u know that??? do u work for avast?
This is about automatic updates not manual updates.
I think you worry too much.
No, I’m not working for avast!.. (yet) 
;D

hey I was just trying to help defence… But are the updates really ‘sent’?
Or is it the software that connects to the avast site n checks for updates?
r u trying to get employed by avast (or whatever) company?
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 “sent” by ALWIL then, it is certainly yes. Why would we use an AV with no updates? You’ll get this proved by the increase on file size on avast’s 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 haven’t tried this yet, they’ll just over-install each other. The safest way would be to check avast website for what is the latest program version & VPS.
They install one over the other, you can’t have both as they being two different antivirus.
I meant to use two different pcs…
Nope, I’m now starting my obligatory community service for 9 months and then am going to study something… (possibly law…)
But if Alwil would offer me a job I wouldn’t say no! ;D
kind regards
