BitDefender Antivirus Pro 2011
23. Update
New malware is found and identified every day. This is why it is very important to
keep BitDefender up to date with the latest malware signatures.
If you are connected to the Internet through broadband or DSL, BitDefender takes
care of this itself. By default, it checks for updates when you turn on your computer
and every hour after that.
If an update is detected, you may be asked to confirm the update or the update is
performed automatically, depending on the automatic update settings.
The update process is performed on the fly, meaning that the files to be updated
are replaced progressively. In this way, the update process will not affect product
operation and, at the same time, any vulnerability will be excluded.
Important
To be protected against the latest threats keep the Automatic Update enabled.
Updates come in the following ways:
● Updates for the antivirus engines - as new threats appear, the files containing
virus signatures must be updated to ensure permanent up-to-date protection
against them. This update type is also known as Virus Definitions Update.
● Updates for the antispyware engines - new spyware signatures will be added
to the database. This update type is also known as Antispyware Update.
● Product upgrades - when a new product version is released, new features and
scan techniques are introduced to the effect of improving the product's
performance. This update type is also known as Product Update.
