Figure 7-5. Automatic Update Properties dialog box Advanced Update Options page Next, follow these steps: 1. Tell the AutoUpdate utility what you want it to do before or as it performs an update. Your options are: • Backup the existing .DAT files. Select this checkbox to have the AutoUpdate utility rename existing VirusScan .DAT files before it installs new files. To rename each file, the utility appends the extension .SAV to the existing file name and extension. CLEAN.DAT, for example, will become CLEAN.DAT.SAV. • Retrieve the Update file but do not perform the update. Select this checkbox to have the utility download the .ZIP archive that contains the new .DAT files, then save it in a location you specify instead of extracting it and installing it. Selecting this checkbox also selects the Save the Update file for later usage checkbox in the After a Successful Update area. To tell AutoUpdate where to save the .DAT file package, enter a path and folder name in the text box below this checkbox, or click Browse to locate a suitable folder. 238 McAfee VirusScan Anti-Virus Software
