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.

Automatic virus updates can be completely switched off, or can be switched off for individual scans.

Click the link appropriate to your requirements:

• Switch off automatic virus updates

• Switch off updates prior to a Manual Scan

• Switch off updates prior to a Scheduled scan
