How to obtain the Update

AutoUpdate

AutoUpdates are only available if you have registered the application with a valid license key. To obtain a license key, please fill out the registration form at www.shavlik.com
Click the 'Download Update Now' link in the top left corner of the application. The updated files will be automatically downloaded to your machine. The updates will be applied after you close and restart HFNetChkPro. The update does not require a system reboot.
Note: Some users report not receiving a notification when the update is complete. If a window appears saying that a download is in progress, leave that window open. When the window closes, the update is complete.

Re-install

If you choose not to perform the autoupdate, or are unable to perform the autoupdate, you may download the updated program - http://www.shavlik.com/downloads.aspx and re-install the application. The re-install will uninstall the previous version and will update your system with the latest version. Your existing scan databases will be preserved during the upgrade.
