About Your Virus Protection Package


Handy Information: 
The College's Automatic Update Process What scan engine & dat file am I running?
When am I scheduled to be updated next? How do I manually update my files?

Update Process:
    The best approach for organizations in the fight against virus propagation, is prevention. At the college, we license and install McAfee's virus prevention products from Network Associates for all college desktops. Recently, Desktop Services has upgraded each desktop to the latest scan engine and virus defination (dat) file. More importantly, however, the product has been configured to periodically and automatically update its engine and dat file. 

    Important facts about the update process:

    1. At installation, a schedule for automatic update was established for your computer. For the process to complete, however, your PC must be on at the scheduled time. See "When am I scheduled to be updated next?" to view your schedule. Please do not change this schedule. The dates and times have been selected to coexist with other applications running over the network. Also, you must reboot your PC after the update is completed for the protection program to be again in place on your PC.

    2. In order to respond to a potential problem or to make up for a missed schedule date, it may become necessary for individuals to manually update their engine and/or dat file. See "How do I manually update my files?" for instructions.
