7.8. Update Manager
7.8.1. Update Manager Principles
No security software can guarantee true protection from various types of threats
unless it is regularly updated! Virus writers are always looking for new flaws that they
can exploit in both software and operating systems. New viruses, new malware, new
hacking attacks appear daily. For this reason, software vendors are continually issuing
updates and security patches, to fix any security holes that are discovered.
It is crucial to update your AVG regularly!
The
Update Manager
helps you to control regular updating. Within this component
you can schedule automatic downloads of update files either from the Internet, or the
local network. Essential virus definition updates should be daily if possible. Less urgent
program updates can be weekly.
Note:
Please pay attention to the
AVG Updates
chapter for more information on
update types and levels!
