To be protected against the latest threats keep the Automatic Update enabled. |
If you are connected to the Internet through broadband or DSL, BitDefender takes care of this itself. It checks for updates when you turn on your computer and every hour after that.
If an update was detected, depending on the options set in the Automatic update options section, you will be asked to confirm the update or the update will be made automatically.
The automatic update can also be done anytime you want by clicking 
Update Now. This update is also known as Update by user request.
The Update module will connect to the BitDefender update server and will verify if any update is available. If an update was detected, depending on the options set in the Manual update settings section, you will be asked to confirm the update or the update will be made automatically.

Important |
It may be necessary to restart the computer when you have completed the update. We recommend doing it as soon as possible. |
 |
Note |
If you are connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection, then it's a good idea to make it a regular habit to update BitDefender by user request. |
