Switch off Automatic Antivirus Updates
- By default, Xcitium Client Security automatically checks for software and virus database updates.
- However, some users like to have control over what gets downloaded and when it gets downloaded.
- For
example, network admins may not wish to automatic
downloads because it will take up too much bandwidth during the day.
-
XCS provides full control over virus and software updates.
- Note: Managed endpoints – Automatic antivirus updates should be configured in the Endpoint Manager profile.
