Keeping your Anti-Virus Software Up to Date

Updates are the key to virus protection! AutoUpdate helps to ensure that you are not without updates.

McAfee is configured to:

  • Update every two hours, daily.
  • If a computer is off when the update is scheduled, the update will start five minutes after the computer is turned on.

AutoUpdate Repository List

In order for McAfee to automatically update its virus definitions, a site must be specified to download the updates from. By default, McAfee should be configured to connect back to McAfee's AutoUpdate site.

To view/modify the settings, click the Tools menu and select Edit AutoUpdate Repository List in the VirusScan Console.

To edit a site, select it (single-click) and click Edit.
