How to Upgrade vBulletin?

[Mai]

Hello Everyone.

Two friends and I have a vBulletin forum,the version We're using is 3.8.4 nulled and We want to Upgrade to 3.8.5 also null, from DGT.
Now, I did search on Google and found many results,but I never done it before and I get confuse.They say that I have to overwrite all the files through FTP ,so I just dump all the new files where my now Forum files are ?.
Also, do I have to configure config.php again?

Any help,guide or advice will be appreciated. I already did a BackUp,just in case something goes wrong.

Thanks Everyone

Mai

Yes, its very simple.

Just drag and drop the files into your FTP overwriting the old ones (so take the 3.8.5 files and overrwrite the already 3.8.4 files).

^ Do that, then don't forget to delete /validator.php and includes/install.php.

After uploading is done, point your site to http://myforumlinkhere.tld/install/upgrade.php

Follow the procedure and the upgrade will get over ;D
