SCHEDULED UPDATE

It is important to schedule updates to the Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus agents so that you can be sure of the maximum protection. The Anti-Spam database is updated three times a day so the level of protection you are receiving can change rapidly on a day to day basis. Setting up these updates as an automatic event will ensure that your databases never run the risk of being out of date.

You can schedule updates in the Scheduled Update screen. Choose License and Updates then Scheduled Update in the System Settings tab. This will show you the Scheduled Update screen.

Figure 2 - 35 The Scheduled Update screen

Use this screen to update the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam Agents.

Updating the Anti-Virus Agent

To update the AntiVirus Agent:

1Select the Anti-Virus Agent Update check box.

2Specify how often the update is to occur by choosing an interval from the Repeat Interval list box. By default this is set to Every hour. We recommend that you keep this setting to ensure you receive updates as soon as they are ready.

3If you set the repeat interval to Every Week, you need to specify the day of the week that you want the update to take place.

4Specify the time of day that the update is to take place. For example:

•Repeat interval = Every week

•Day of week = Saturday

•Time = 23:30

This will perform an online update of the Anti-Virus engine and definitions automatically, every Saturday at 11:30pm.

5 Click Submit to put these changes into effect.
