Update

In a world where cyber criminals constantly try to come up with new ways to

cause harm, it is essential to keep your security solution up to date if you are

to stay one step ahead of them.

By default, Bitdefender automatically checks for updates every hour. If you

want to turn off automatic updates, use the Auto Update switch on the Update

panel.

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.

Click the Update Now button on the panel to start an immediate update.

For more information about configuring updates, please refer to “Keeping

Bitdefender up-to-date” (p. 35).

security solution for social networks, directly from Bitdefender Internet Security
