How To Configure Antivirus Definitions to Auto Update

The virus definitions of the Antivirus program on the IT-100 need to be updated frequently in order to detect the latest virus threats on the Internet. Any antivirus program detects viruses based on the definitions or characteristics of the virus. Antivirus companies analyze known viruses and write the definitions so that antivirus programs such as the one on the IT-100 can detect threats. This is an ongoing process as more viruses are being written and released on the Internet. In order for your IT-100 to detect current viruses, the virus definitions must be kept up to date. You can manually trigger a virus definition update as well as configure the IT-100 to automatically download definitions on a regular basis. To configure antivirus definitions to auto update:
