Am i supposed to be updating Manually?

Hi All,
Im currently running ESS, if it look to Help->About it says im running the following:-

Version 3.0.621.0

Virus signature database: 3020 (20080411)
Update module: 1023 (20080229)
Antivirus and antispyware scanner module: 1108 (20080325)
Advanced heuristics module: 1070 (20080212)
Archive support module: 1075 (20080314)
Cleaner module: 1026 (20080228 )
Personal firewall module: 1038 (20080402)
Antispam module: 1006 (20080103)

Now, always update product components is selected in the update section of advanced setup and from what I can tell the latest version is 3.0.650.0 and the version previous to that is 3.0.642.0.

So am i supposed to check every now and then for the latest versions (im hoping not) or is my automatic update screwed?

 

you have to download the new v650 installer from web site
and then update your v621

 

So there is no "automatic update" for this then? I have to manually install it?

 

yes you are right
go and download letest v650 much issue's and bug's are fixed

 

Automatic program component updates (PCU) are issued twice per year in average. For version 3 there has not been a PCU released yet, but we'll release it in the near future, depending on when some known problems are resolved.

 

Awhile ago I read some thread with the arguement behind making customers remember to check to see if there's an update for the actual program itself but I don't think I agreed with it. Can someone point me to a more current explanation as to why we need to do this?
