About Signature Updates
Signature updates contain the latest versions of the signature files that recognize
and defend against the latest infections. They also contain the latest engine versions,
which do the work of looking for infections. Computer Associates provides
regularly scheduled signature updates every month, and more frequently as
needed.
When you set up a signature update, you specify when to perform the update and
how to collect it. You can collect signature updates via FTP or from a path on the
local machine.
These updates are cumulative, so they contain everything from all previous file
updates, plus the newest information on the latest infections. If you have missed a
recent update, you only need to collect the latest signature file to have the most up-
to-date protection.
