Updater :: Overview

The updater ensures that your Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic program is always up to date. With the aid of the Scheduler, you can set whether and at what intervals Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic carries out a comparison of versions. You can define a certain time or interval. However, it is possible at all times to start the updater manually (either via the Control Center or via the tray icon). If an updated version or a new virus definition file of Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic is available, an update is carried out.

Note
If you are using a program in fullscreen mode (e.g. games) and the updater's display mode is set to minimized or maximized, the updater will switch to the desktop.To prevent this, start the updater with a display mode of invisible. In this mode you will no longer be notified about updates by the update window.
