Download and install product updates automatically
If this option is enabled, product updates are downloaded and automatically installed
by the Update component as soon as they become available. Updates to the virus

system restart, otherwise install it immediately
If this option is enabled, product updates will be downloaded as soon as they become
available. If no restart is necessary, the update is installed automatically after the
