• Updates for the antivirus engines - as new threats appear, the files containing virus signa-

tures must be updated to ensure permanent up-to-date protection against them. This update

type is also known as Virus Definitions Update.

• Updates for the antispyware engines - new spyware signatures will be added to the database.

This update type is also known as Antispyware Update.

• Product upgrades - when a new product version is released, new features and scan tech-

niques are introduced to the effect of improving the product's performance. This update type

is also known as Product Update.

Moreover, from the user's intervention viewpoint, we may take into account:

• Automatic update - the antivirus automatically contacts the BitDefender server in order to

check if an update was released. If so, BitDefender is updated automatically. The automatic

update can also be done anytime you want by clicking Update now from the Update module.

• Manual update - you must download and install the latest virus&spyware definitions

manually.
