Update the Scan Signatures and Scan Engine Firmware

To scan and detect viruses, spyware, and other malware threats, the UTM’s scan engine requires two components:

•A pattern file that contains the virus signature files and virus database

•Firmware that functions in conjunction with the pattern file

Because new virus threats can appear any hour of the day, it is important to keep both the pattern file and scan engine firmware current. The UTM can automatically check for updates, as often as every 15 minutes, to ensure that your network protection is current.

To view the current versions and most recent updates of the pattern file and scan engine firmware that your UTM is running, select Administration > System Update. The System Update submenu tabs display, with the Signatures & Engine screen in view:
