When you should update

55

Run LiveUpdate as soon as you have installed your product. Once you know that your files are up-to-date, run LiveUpdate regularly to obtain updates. For example, to keep your virus protection current, you should use LiveUpdate once a week or whenever new viruses are discovered. Program updates are released on an as-needed basis.

Request an update alert

To ensure your protection updates are current, you can request to receive an email alert whenever there is a high-level virus outbreak or other Internet security threat. The email alert describes the threat, provides detection and removal instructions, and includes advice on keeping your computer safe. You should always run LiveUpdate after you receive one of these alerts.

If you run LiveUpdate on an internal network

If you run LiveUpdate on a computer that is connected to a network that is behind a company firewall, your network administrator might set up an internal LiveUpdate server on the network. LiveUpdate should find this location automatically.

If you have trouble connecting to an internal LiveUpdate server, contact your network administrator.
