4. Keeping the Product Up-to-Date
Automatic
Updates
F-Secure Mobile Security includes an automatic update service, which means
that the virus definition database in the application is updated regularly. Only an
up-to-date virus definition database protects your device against the latest
viruses. Automatic updates are in use after you have activated the product.
The application requires an active Internet connection for the updates. When a
connection to the Internet is available, the application checks when the virus
definition database was last updated and downloads new updates if necessary.
