Basic

By default, the Update type is Regular update. This ensures the detection signature database and product modules are updated automatically from ESET update servers.

Pre-release updates include the most recent bug fixes and detection methods available to the general public soon. However, they might not be stable at all times; therefore, it is not recommended to use them in a production environment.

Delayed updates allow updating from special update servers providing new versions of virus databases with a delay of at least X hours (that is, databases tested in a real environment and considered stable).

Module rollback

If you suspect that a new detection engine update or program modules may be unstable or corrupt, you can use the ESET PROTECT On-Prem task for Modules Update Rollback to roll back to the previous version and temporarily disable updates. Alternatively, you can enable previously disabled updates if you have postponed them until revoked.

ESET Endpoint Antivirus for macOS records snapshots of the detection engine and program modules for use with the rollback feature. To create module database snapshots, keep Create snapshots of modules enabled. When Create snapshots of modules is enabled, the first snapshot is created during the first update. The next one is created after 48 hours. The Number of locally stored snapshots field defines the amount of stored detection engine snapshots.
