Update process
After clicking Update virus signature database, the download process begins. A download progress bar and
remaining time to download will be displayed. To interrupt the update, click Abort.
Important: Under normal circumstances, when updates are downloaded properly the message Update is not
necessary – Virus signature database is up to date will appear in the Update window. If this is not the case, the
program is out of date and more vulnerable to infection. Please update the virus signature database as soon as
possible. Otherwise, one of the following messages will be displayed:
Virus signature database is out of date – This error will appear after several unsuccessful attempts to update the virus
signature database. We recommend that you check the update settings. The most common reason for this error is
incorrectly entered authentication data or incorrectly configured connection settings.
