Overview

F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus includes an update service, which means that 
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can be updated regularly to keep the virus 
definition database up to date. An up-to-date virus definition database is 
needed for proper functioning of F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus: only an 
up-to-date virus definition database enables finding and removing even 
the most recently found viruses. 

The virus definition database contains information of all the viruses that 
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can find during the scan. F-Secure Mobile 
Anti-Virus requires an active Internet connection to connect to the update 
service for receiving virus definition database updates and keeping virus 
protection up to date.

When a new virus or other malicious software emerges, a new virus 
definition database update can be retrieved from the update service. It is 
important that you keep your virus definition database up to date. Only 
with up-to-date virus definition database, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can 
find all the latest viruses and thus ensure you the best possible protection.
