Chapter 11. Updates

BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices was designed with capabilities for triggered update. At the present time, the risk of getting infected is high, both because new viruses appear and the existing ones keep on spreading. This is why your antivirus must be kept up-to-date, by periodically checking the BitDefender servers for new updates.
