Update
The Update option automatically keeps your virus definitions up-to-date and protects your computer from emerging species of viruses and other malicious programs. You can configure eScan to download updates automatically either from eScan update servers or from local network by using FTP or HTTP.
You can access tabbed page for the Update option from eScan for AV by clicking the Update button. The Update tabbed page provides you with information regarding the type of update mode and date on which the database was last updated. It also provides you with options for configuring the module and helps you view reports on recent scans performed by the module.
The tabbed page shows two sections: Configuration and Reports. These two sections are described as follows:
Configuration
This section displays the following information:
- Last Database Updated: It shows when the eScan database was last updated.
- Run Mode: It displays the type of update mode used by eScan. The run mode can be either Automatic or Scheduled.
In addition, you can click any one of the following options:
Update Now
You can click this button to update the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam definitions through HTTP and FTP mode.

- Proxy Settings: In this section, you can configure the proxy settings for downloading updates through HTTP proxy or FTP proxy servers. In both case, you need to provide the IP address of the proxy server if any, the port number, and the authentication credentials. In case of FTP servers, you also need to provide the format for the user ID in the Logon Type section.
- After Update
This tab helps you configure the actions that eScan should perform after Updater downloads the updates.
- Execute this Program, after downloading updates successfully: When you select this check box, eScan runs a particular application or program after eScan updates are downloaded successfully.
This section shows the following options:

- Run: [Default: Normal] Whenever a program runs, it runs in its own window. You can specify whether the window should be in the maximized, minimized, normal, or hidden state. The default state of the window is normal.
- Terminate the process forcibly: You can also forcibly terminate the process to free system resources by selecting this option.
- Don't wait for process to complete: A process may require a long time to end. In such cases, you can allow other processes to run along with the specified process by selecting this option.
- While this process is being executed, suspend all operations for <placeholder> seconds: [Default: 1] You can also ensure that the no other process runs while the specified process is running for a given time interval by setting the interval in the box.
