• Anti-virus engine and database
• Spam rules and anti-spam engine
• Web categorization database
• Appliance software updates (HotFixes and patches)
• Extra DAT emergency update file
You can choose to update scanning components immediately, and create schedules to regularly update
the components when the server traffic is low. Additionally, you can have the appliance import
anti-virus engine and database files from the update server, and export them onto other appliances
that do have Internet access.
McAfee recommends that you update all scanning components on a new
appliance using the
Update Now
options, then use the scheduling options
for each component to create regular updates at a time when traffic is
low, such as during the night. To update appliance software updates
such as HotFixes and patches, go to
System | Component Management | Package
Installer
.
This version of Email and Web Security Appliances no longer supports
the v1 detection definition (DAT) files. The appliances now use the
McAfee Agent to handle the updating of the v2 DAT files and scanning
engine files — even without having an ePolicy Orchestrator server
configured on your network. When not using an ePolicy Orchestrator
server, you can now configure your appliance to use ftp or http to
download the v2 DAT files and scanning engine files. These DAT files and
scanning engine updates can be obtained by ePolicy Orchestrator and
pulled from the ePolicy Orchestrator repository using the McAfee Agent.
You can also manually download the files and install them onto your
appliance.
You cannot use the Update Status pages to update the Hardware
Acceleration PDB files used by older hardware fitted with Hardware
Acceleration cards.
