HiNo you don't have to uninstall
Just right click on your avast icon in the system tray.
Click on updating
Click on program update.
After update down will ask for reboot.
I have yet to have any trouble doing it this way.
Avast Home Edition can be configured to automatically check for program updates too. It however has to be manually configured to check for them because that isn't a default setting.

Thanks Yokenny but I don't have Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.12.36 installed.
So I don't have to worry about Un-installing it.
I have Secunia PSI installed and run it 2 times a month.
CeeCee Thanks for the update.
