You can find out when updates were initiated and information about them (whether

they were successful or not, if they require a restart to complete the installation).

If required, restart the system at your earliest convenience.

9.2. Performing an update

In order to perform updates, an Internet connection is required.

To start an update, do any of the following:

● Open the Bitdefender window and click Update now on the Update panel.

● Right-click the Bitdefender icon in the system tray and select Update now.

The Update module will connect to the Bitdefender update server and it will check

for updates. If an update is detected, you will be asked to confirm it or the update

will be performed automatically, depending on the update settings.

Important

It may be necessary to restart the computer when you have completed the update.

We recommend doing it as soon as possible.

9.3. Turning on or off automatic update

To turn on or off automatic update, follow these steps:

1. Open the Bitdefender window.

2. On the Update panel, click the Auto Update switch.

3. A warning window will appear. You must confirm your choice by selecting from

the menu how long you want the automatic update to be disabled. You can disable

the automatic update for 5, 15 or 30 minutes, for an hour, permanently or until

the system restart.

Warning

This is a critical security issue. We recommend you to disable automatic update for

as little time as possible. If Bitdefender is not updated regularly, it will not be able to

protect you against the latest threats.

9.4. Adjusting update settings

The updates can be performed from the local network, over the Internet, directly

or through a proxy server. By default, Bitdefender will check for updates every hour,

over the Internet, and install the available updates without alerting you.

The default update settings are suited for most users and you do not normally need

to change them.

To adjust the update settings, follow these steps:
