Updating PortalProtect Parent topic

Antivirus software can only be effective if it is using the latest scan engine and pattern files. Since new viruses and other malicious code are constantly being released, it is crucial that you regularly update your scan engine, and pattern files to protect against new security threats.
Before you can update PortalProtect, you must complete the following tasks:
  • Register your software. See Registering PortalProtect.
  • If a proxy server handles Internet traffic on your network, you must type the proxy server information. See Configuring Global Proxy Settings.
  • Configure your update method and source. Methods include Manual Update and Scheduled Update. Sources include the ActiveUpdate server, other update source, and the intranet UNC path.
