13 CHAPTER 4 Updating SecurityCenter SecurityCenter ensures that your registered McAfee programs are current by checking for and installing online updates every four hours. Depending on the programs you have installed and registered, online updates may include the latest virus definitions and hacker, spam, spyware, or privacy protection upgrades. If you want to check for updates within the default four hour period, you can do so at any time. While SecurityCenter is checking for updates, you can continue to perform other tasks. Although it is not recommended, you can change the way SecurityCenter checks for and installs updates. For example, you can configure SecurityCenter to download but not install updates or to notify you before downloading or installing updates. You can also disable automatic updating. Note: If you installed your McAfee programs from a CD, you cannot receive regular, automatic updates for those programs unless you register them on the McAfee Web site. In this chapter Check for updates 13 Configure automatic updates 14 Disable automatic updates 14 Check for updates By default, SecurityCenter automatically checks for updates every four hours when your computer is connected to the Internet; however, if you want to check for updates within the four hour period, you can do so. If you have disabled automatic updates, it is your responsibility to check for updates regularly. On the SecurityCenter Home pane, click Update. Tip: You can check for updates without launching SecurityCenter by right-clicking the SecurityCenter icon in the notification area at the far right of your taskbar, and then clicking Updates.
