In VirusScan Autoupdate Properties, click on the
Schedule button. In the Task tab, ensure that
Enable (scheduled task runs at specified time) is
checked. Click on the Schedule tab.
• Select Daily and time of day specifying
a.m. or p.m.
• If your computer is not on most of the time
(e.g. laptop), use At Startup or At Logon
options.
The pre-configured schedule for AutoUpdate is set
to daily at 10:45 a.m. with one hour randomization
(connections to the repositories are varied up to one
hour, spreading out the load on the update servers.).
Note: Your computer must be powered on at the scheduled time for the AutoUpdate task to run.
Adjust the time to run the AutoUpdate task to meet your needs. Daily updating is recommended since
McAfee routinely updates DATs daily but more frequently during virus outbreaks.
How to Manually Update DATs
There are several ways to manually update your scan engine and DAT files.
• Right click on the red Vshield
icon in the system tray and click on Update Now on the popup
menu.
• Open VirusScan Console. Do one of the following:
1. Highlight the AutoUpdate task. Click the green triangle start icon
in the VirusScan
Console toolbar.
2. Right click on the AutoUpdate task and click Start in the popup menu.
3. Right click on the AutoUpdate task, click Properties. Click Update Now.
VSE will check the UH repository for available updates. If updates are available, it will download and
install the latest updates. Otherwise, VSE will inform you that you have the latest scan engine and DAT
files. Click Close when the update is completed or the message box will automatically close.
