Q2. How do I update the virus definitions database?

F-Secure Internet Security 2009 updates itself automatically, and you do not have to do anything. If you are using a modem, the product is automatically updated every time you connect to the Internet. If you have a broadband connection, updates are checked once per hour.

You can also manually check for updates. To open the product, double-click the product icon at the bottom right corner of your screen. To check for updates:

1. Click the Automatic Updates tab.
2. Last update check displays the time of the latest update.
3. Click Check now. F-Secure Automatic Update Agent connects to the Internet and checks for the latest updates. If the protection is not up-to-date, it retrieves the latest updates.
   Note: If you are using a modem, or have an ISDN connection to the Internet, the connection must be active to check for updates.
