Update Setup
Specific parameters of the update process of your AVG Anti-Spyware can be set up within the Update dialog (click the main menu Update icon to get there):
The dialog is divided into four major sections:
Current Status
In case there is an update process currently running (launched manually or automatically), the progress bar provides an overview of its progress. The visual information is accompanied by a text specification on the respective process running.
The update related status information in this section defines the update availability, with the following possibilities:
- Ready for update: The program is ready to check for updates; click on "Start update" to start this process.
- No update was available: The program has checked for presence of new update files and has not found any; no new update files were issued since you last launched the program update.
- Update successful: Information provided after an update process has been completed successfully.
Manual update
The Manual update section of this dialog offers the possibility of launching an update manually when the need arises. Generally, it is recommended to schedule your updates automatically (see the next section) but a situation may occur when it is critical to have the latest update files available and then you may want to launch an update manually. Simply click the Start update button; the update process will display in the above described Current Status section.
Automatic update
The option of automatic update scheduling is only available in AVG Anti-Spyware full version. If this section is not activated in your program, you may need to register your license number (please refer to the Switching to Full Version topic on how to do that) in order to be allowed to use the entire range of the full version's features.
In the full version, the automatic update option is set up in the program by default. The specifications are as follows:
- Download and install updates automatically: The program will automatically check for new update files and download them onto your computer when they are available; the check will be performed at the time interval you have specified (see the next paragraph). If for some reason you want to disable this function (not recommended), deselect the respective checkbox.
- Show notification when an update is installed automatically: An automatic notification window will be displayed when the update process starts and after it is successfully completed. You may disable this function by deselecting the respective checkbox.
- Update interval: From the drop down menu select the time period that best suits your needs: the program will perform automatic update checks at the defined intervals.
The automatic update feature can also be switched on/off by right-clicking on the AVG Anti-Spyware system tray icon and choosing the Automatic Update item. When the item is "ticked", the feature is switched on.
Settings
The Settings section of this dialog deals with the detailed configuration of the Internet connection used for the update download. See the Internet Connection Settings topic for detailed description.
