Schedule your updates

The most important tool F-Prot AntivirusÖ has to offer are the regular updates of virus definition files. New viruses are constantly surfacing and so it is necessary to update regularly. You can program the Scheduler to do this for you.

Before you begin, be sure to have set up the Updater correctly. Note that you must save your customer number if you wish to schedule regular updates.
