Manually checking for updates

In addition to automatically checking for updates every four hours when you are connected to the Internet, you can also manually check for updates at any time.

Note: For maximum protection, we recommend that you let SecurityCenter automatically check for and install updates. However, if you want to only manually update your security services, you can disable automatic updating.

To manually check for updates:

1. Ensure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
2. Click Updates in the SecurityCenter toolbar.
3. Click Check Now in the SecurityCenter Updates dialog box.
4. If an update exists, the Update Available dialog box opens. Click Update to continue.
   - or -
   If no updates are available, a dialog box tells you that your services are up-to-date. Click OK to close the dialog box.

5. Log in to the Web site if prompted. The Update Wizard will open and the update will install automatically.
6. Click Finish when the update is finished installing.

Note: In some cases, you will be prompted to restart your computer to complete the update. Save all of your work and close all applications before restarting.
