Switch Off Automatic Antivirus and Software Updates

By default, CAVS will automatically check for software and Antivirus database updates. However, some users like to have control over what gets downloaded and when it gets downloaded. For example, network administrators may not wish to automatically download because it will take up to much bandwidth during the day. Similarly, users that have particularly heavy traffic loads may not want automatic updates because they conflict with their other download/upload activity.

Comodo Antivirus for Servers provides full control over virus and software updates. Click the appropriate link below to find out more:

• Switch off automatic software and virus signature database updates entirely

• Switch off automatic software and virus signature database selectively

• Switch off automatic virus signature database updates prior to Antivirus Scans

To switch off automatic updates entirely:

1. Open 'Tasks' interface by clicking the green curved arrow at top right of the 'Home' screen

2. Open Advanced Settings panel by clicking Advanced Tasks > Advanced Settings from the Tasks interface

3. Click 'Updates' under 'General Settings' from the left hand side navigation pane

4. Deselect the check boxes 'Check for database updates every xxx hour(s)'

5. Click 'OK' in the 'Advanced Settings' panel.
