Different types of updates

Panda Antivirus 6.0 offers two different types of update formats: Intelligent Updates and Intelligent Upgrades. Intelligent Updates renews the virus database so that the antivirus is capable of detecting and disinfecting all the latest viruses. Intelligent Upgrades renew the entire product in order to incorporate the latest improvements made to the antivirus.

To find out when you last updated your Panda Antivirus 6.0, the program displays a graph in the status bar located in the lower part of the antivirus' main window. This graph indicates the antiquity of the virus signature file in days. By double-clicking the graph, a window will appear showing information on the virus signature file. This information can also be accessed by pressing the Version button in the window that appears after clicking on the Virus List button in the applicationÆs main window. The information shown on the virus signature file is as follows:

• No. of Known Viruses: indicates the number of viruses detected by the virus signature file.

• Virus File Version: indicates the version of the virus signature file. The version refers to the different technologies implemented in the file. It is possible that the newest versions of the virus file will not work correctly with older versions of Panda Antivirus 6.0, and for that reason this information is shown.

• Date Created: this is the date that the virus signature file was generated.

• Time Created: this corresponds to the time the virus signature file was created.

• Size: indicates the size in bytes of the virus signature file.

Lastly, the information on both the version number installed and the date of the virus signature file with which the antivirus is working is shown in the About Panda Antivirus 6.0 window, which can be accessed through the Help menu. These two pieces of information appear together in this window to facilitate their consultation.
