F-Secure Mobile Security Series 80 - Back to FAQ list

 

 

Updates

Q 2. How much data traffic do the automatic updates generate?

When the Automatic Update feature is enabled and when the connection to the Internet is active, F-Secure Mobile Security checks for updates once a day. Depending on the amount of available updates, every check generates 9-20 KB. For example, if you are connected to the Internet at least once a day, automatic updates generate approximately an extra 400 KB a month. If your GSM operator bills you 1€/1MB, the automatic updates would add approximately 40 cents to your phone bill.

When an updated application is available, F-Secure Mobile Security displays the amount of data to be downloaded and prompts you for confirmation before starting the download. You can also initiate application updates manually from the main user interface, and then, the prompt for confirmation is not displayed.
