Does this product update to the new versions each year?

No, not to my knowledge. I have had to update manually over the existing version and the new version will uninstall the previous version. It's free but does not do it like Avast Professional which makes it quick and painless. At the moment Bit Defender is number one so that is why I am using it. Avast has a nice feature also that I like which is the boot time scan. But people with Bit Defender has been pretty good for all my users. Here are the instructions on how to upgrade the bit defender internet security. Its free of charge http://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-upgrade-for-free-from-an-older-version-to-the-new-bitdefender--711.html

The boxed version will most likely be version 8.0 or 8.1 but after you install the software and register it through their website the company will send you a link to download the latest update.

I don't know if there is an update available. The unit I got performs just fine as received.

Have had my unit 2 years and at least 4 updates with no problems at all. Are you sure the old update problem still exists? Updates during the year appear minor, but should be done whenever you are taking a long trip to unknown areas.

Mine was updated. I comes with the USB cord to plug into your computer to register your unit and it will take care of any available updates. It's pretty simple to do.

It does not. However it is update able and will accept code changes. This is why I like it because it is not useless in a couple of years.

I bought this before then so I wouldn't know for sure. It's likely still the prior version. I'd assume they'd list a new version as another product.

Yes, this is the latest, but it really doesn't matter because if you register they will send you the updates between new editions.

I've heard that it varies. Mine did not ship with the most up to date version.

I cant answer 100%, because I read in misc forums that new version uses same numbers as the old.What I can answer is "THIS version when I bought it, is not the new versions".

Mine is the one pictured and I purchased it in 2012. I do believe there is a newer version that came out for 2014.

Yes, as a general rule. But not always. Depends on the application software being updated I suppose.

Yes, its for 2013 and it has already done two updates since I loaded the software on my computer.

I just purchased this new version but I have publisher 98 and I still installs over and over again and runs fine on windows 8. Office I upgrade software every 4-5 years and , I upgrade computers around every 2 years and all my Microsoft software reinstalls.

If it doesn't come with you can update yourself. I just did a few weeks ago when it prompted me about the new update.

I just got it a couple months ago. I can't imagine it wouldn't have to be updated. I am really pleased with it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
