Update
By default, ESET Smart Security comes
with a predefined task to ensure
regular updates. If you have not
entered your User name and Password
during installation and no update has
been performed yet, we recommend
starting the update manually as
follows:
• Select
Update
in the left pane of the
main ESET Smart Security screen
• Click
Update virus signature
database
The update module will connect to the
Internet, contact an available ESET
update server and download digitally
signed update files, which contain the
most recent malware signaturesand
new definitions for advanced heuristics
and other program modules.
As soon as a newer update has been
installed, ESET Smart Security displays
a notification in the system tray area
showing the version number of the
installed virus signature database.
