For signature-based security services such as Anti-Virus, Application
Control, and IPS, clicking this button will check for signature updates from
Cisco’s signature server. Anti-Virus and IPS use different signature
database but IPS and Application Control use the same signature
database. This operation will check for signature updates for all of them
at a time. If a newer signature file than your current one is available on the
server, the new signature file will be downloaded to your device.
NOTE:
A valid Cisco.com account is required to check for signature
updates from Cisco’s signature server. Go to the Device Management >
Cisco.com Account page to configure your Cisco.com account
credentials on the security appliance. See

For reputation-based security services such as Spam Filter, Web URL
Filtering, Web Reputation Filtering, and Network Reputation, clicking this
button will only check for new updates for Network Reputation. This
operation will not check for new updates for Spam Filter, Web URL
Filtering, and Web Reputation Filtering.
