Update status

Updates are important because they ensure that protection on your computer is up-to-date. If you have not installed updates for some time, the protection of your data provided by Active Virus Shield becomes less reliable as the time passes.

To check the protection status of your computer, view the current status of the application and database updates displayed by an indicator located in the application main window in the Protection section. This is the second protection indicator.

	Signatures are loaded (date, time). No update is needed. The signatures used by Active Virus Shield are up-to-date. The application modules are also up-to-date.
	Signatures are not current. This may happen if automatic updating has been disabled on your computer. For more information, see the Protection indicators section.
	Signatures are out-of-date. Active Virus Shield has not been updated for a long time or updating is impossible because the license has expired.

Update : error û there was an error during the update for some reason. If this occurs, we highly recommend reviewing the report and finding out what caused the error.
