Managing automatic updates

For the highest level of protection, the Webroot software is already configured to check for program updates and new security definitions on a daily basis. (You must be connected to the Internet for update checks to be successful.) In addition, the Webroot software is also set to automatically download definitions, if available. If desired, you can change the interval for checking updates to hourly or you can turn off automatic checks and automatic downloads for definitions. If you decide to turn off automatic checks, make sure you remember to manually check for definition updates at least once a week. To see when you last updated them, open the Main window (Home panel) and read the Updates panel.

To check or change settings for automatic updates:

1.	In the Icon panel, click Options.

2.	Click the Update tab.

3.	Under Auto-Update, you can change the following settings:

•

Automatically check for program updates. We recommend that you keep this option selected. If desired, you can change the interval from daily to hourly. If you deselect this option, Webroot cannot notify you of either security definition updates or program updates, nor can it automatically send updates to you (the next options are automatically disabled). You will need to check for updates manually by clicking Check for Updates below Update Now.

•

Automatically download security definitions if available. We recommend that you keep this option selected. Updates will automatically download as long as you are connected to the Internet. If you deselect this option, you must download updates manually by clicking Check for Updates below Update Now.
