Live Update is an easy way to get the latest Virus Definitions, but it does require an Internet connection from the PC you are updating to work. On some of the more recent versions of Norton AntiVirus, Live Update can be scheduled to run automatically at a certain time, provided the PC is up and running during the scheduled time period. Norton Anti-Virus also supports the idea that a user can go to their Web Page and download the latest Virus Definitions. Using the Manual Download function to get the latest Virus Definitions takes a little more time than the Live Update method. However, this method does allow you to get the definitions in place on PC's that do not have an available Internet connection.
Virus protection is critical in today's online world.
Virus Definitions need to be updated at least once a month - sometimes even more frequently as more viruses threaten our systems. Please make sure that you have a procedure in place to get all PC's updated with the latest Virus Definitions on a routine basis. Worth Mentioning There are always new issues that come up that are worth mentioning. Similarly, there are always old issues that are worth repeating. Pay close attention to your backup.
