3.2 Updating Anti-virus

New types of computer threats with new concealment features are being constantly developed by malefactors all over the world. Updating the components and virus databases of Dr.Web Anti-Virus for Linux ensures that your protection is always up to date and ready for those new threat types. Updating is performed by a special component called Updater.

You can periodically start Updater manually (see below) or configure Scheduler to update program components and virus databases according to a specified schedule (see Configuring Schedules).

To start Updater manually

Do one of the following:

In the Updater section of the page Dr.Web Anti-Virus for Linux on Control Desk click Update.
Right-click the Dr.Web Anti-Virus for Linux icon Icon_Panel in the notification area and select Update.
