FAQ 27: How do I configure updates?

 

Follow these steps to configure the updates in Platinum Internet Security:

 

1.    Click on the General options button on the toolbar at the top of program window.

2.    Go to the Update section.

3.    In addition, it is possible to specify if the program must update automatically and how the update process must be carried out. To do this you can use the following options:

 

·      Enable automatic updates. If you select this option, the program will be automatically updated when an Internet connection is detected (as long as the update is necessary).

·      Notify me when updating automatically. When the automatic update is completed successfully, a message will be displayed to inform you.

 

4.    The update is just one of the services included in Platinum Internet Security, so it will be necessary to be a registered user to benefit from this service. Enter the user name and password that were sent to you when you registered.

5.    In addition, it will be necessary to specify the location from where the program will be updated. The following possibilities are available: Internet, Floppy disk, CD-ROM or local network. You only have to select the Access via a proxy server option. Click on Settings to indicate the following data: IP address, proxy port, Proxy user name and password –please note that this is not related to the registration user name and password-.

 

When updating the program manually (using the Update button in the tool bar), you will also be able to configure the update process. To do this, click on the Configure updates button in the first window of the update wizard.
