18. Choose the update option you prefer. You can:
• Run AutoUpdate Now . This option uses default AutoUpdate
configuration options to connect directly to the McAfee website and
download the latest incremental .DAT file updates. Select this
option if your company has not designated a location on your
network as an update site, and if you do not need to configure proxy
server or firewall settings. This ensures that any scan operation you
run uses current files.
• Configure AutoUpdate Now . This option opens the Automatic
Update dialog box, where you can add or configure an update site
from which to download new files. Select this option if your
company has designated a server for .DAT file updates somewhere
on your network, or if you want to change some aspect of how your
computer connects to the McAfee website—firewall or proxy server
settings, for example.
To learn more about how to configure the AutoUpdate utility, see
“Configuring update options” on page 113 .
• Wait and Run AutoUpdate Later . This option skips the update
operation altogether. You can configure and schedule an
AutoUpdate task to download new .DAT files at any later time. To
learn how to schedule a task, see
Chapter 6, “Creating and
Configuring Scheduled Tasks,” in the VirusScan User’s Guide .
