If this option is enabled, in addition to the specified update interval, the update job is
carried out every time an Internet connection is established.

12.7.1 Product update
Under Product update, configure how product updates or the notification of available
product updates are handled.
Product updates
Download and automatically install product updates
If this option is enabled, product updates are downloaded and automatically installed by
the Update component as soon as they become available. Updates to the virus definition
file and search engine are carried out independently of this setting. The conditions for
this option are: complete configuration of the update and an open connection to a
download server.
Download product updates. If a restart is necessary, install the update after the
system
restart, otherwise install it immediately.
If this option is enabled, product updates will be downloaded as soon as they become
available. If no restart is necessary, the update is installed automatically after the update
file is downloaded. If a product update requires you to restart your computer, it will be
executed at the next user-controlled system reboot and not immediately after the
download of the update file. This has the advantage that the restart is not carried out
while users are working at their computers. Updates to the virus definition file and
search engine are carried out independently of this setting. The conditions for this
option are: complete configuration of the update and an open connection to a download
server.
