Updating Virus and Spam Definition Databases
9.1 Overview
It is of the utmost importance that virus definition databases are kept
up-to-date. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange takes care of this
task automatically. This section describes how the automatic updates
work, how you can configure them and how you can update the virus
definitions manually.
Information about the latest virus database update can be found at:

9.2 Automatic Updates with F-Secure Automatic
Update Agent
With F-Secure Automatic Update Agent, virus and spam definition
database updates are retrieved automatically when they are published.
When a new virus is found, F-Secure provides a new virus definition
database update. F-Secure Automatic Update Agent uses HTTP protocol
to fetch this update. Virus and spam definition updates are digitally signed
for maximum security.
In order to update the spam definition databases F-Secure Automatic
Update Agent must be installed on the same computer as F-Secure Spam
Control.
You may install and use F-Secure Automatic Update Agent in conjunction
with licensed F-Secure's antivirus and security products. F-Secure
Automatic Update Agent shall be used only for receiving updates and
related information on F-Secure's antivirus and security products.
F-Secure Automatic Update Agent may not be used for any other purpose
or service.
