If you are one of many that like and use the Avant Browser, you must realize that this is NOT a Microsoft product which means it does not get updates through the windows update. It relys on the pop up that should happen when you use the program, stating that there is a new version available. What I have found however, that if you don't choose to get this when prompted and you have chosen to close the window instead, you may find you never get notice again. Therefore there is a little trick you should be aware of and this typically goes for any program.
Click on HELP somewhere at the top.. most programs have this, along with 'file, edit, view, tools' or something like that...
From clicking on HELP you will find in the list 'CHECK FOR NEW VERSION' and if there is one and you choose YES, it will take you directly to the download page where, currently, you have two download sites (I choose the second as this seems to be the more direct link from avant and bypasses their sponsored 'download.com' for example.. nothing wrong with getting it there either, in fact you can always get it (the latest version) directly from my own SOFTWARE SUPPORT PAGE HERE.
