Hi Everyone,
I noted after sending the Avast update program software instructions
yesterday I made a mistake in one of the instructions and wanted to send
in
a revised set of instructions for you to read.
1. Start up your PC and wait for it to land on the desktop.
2. Press keys, winkey + letter M to make sure that you are indeed on the
desktop.
3. Press letter A for Avast and then hit the enter key or left double
click
with the mouse.
4. When Avast opens up it will be informing you that it is doing a memory
scan, you can choose to stop this scan by tabbing over to the "stop memory
scan" and pressing spacebar or left clicking on it with your mouse.
5. In most cases the next screen will say something like "Avast simple
user
interface, dummy checkbox checked". At this point, press the application
key
on
your keyboard.
Note:For those using an ordinary avast screen where you tab through the
different boxes, just press alt + T to go into the tools menu and arrow
down
to "updating".
6. Press the letter U to jump to the updating sub menu.
7. Arrow down once to "program update" and hit enter key.
At this point your Avast software should go off onto the internet and look
for a program update if there is any available.
8. Wait a few moments and if there is a program update available then
Avast
will take it down, install it and then prompt you with a "close button".
Note: A program update is not the same as a normal daily update. A program
update is a full installation of a newer version of the current avast
software you have installed and is important.
This action will ensure that you are properly protected on the net and
make
sure that you are receiving the latest updates.
For anyone using other anti virus software, you will have to look up how
to
update your program on the venders web site etc.
Good luck,
Paul.
