Update configuration
This section specifies update source information like the update servers being used and authentication data for these servers.
NOTE For updates to be downloaded properly, it is essential that you fill in all update parameters correctly. If you use a firewall, ensure that your ESET program is allowed to communicate with the internet (for example, HTTP communication). |
Select default update profile Choose existing or create new profile that will be applied by default for updates. Clear update cache If you experience problems with an update, click Clear to clear the temporary update cache. Set maximum detection engine age automatically / Maximum detection engine age (days) Allows you to set maximum days after which the detection engine age will be reported as out of date. The default value is 7. Module Rollback If you suspect that a new update of detection engine and/or program modules may be unstable or corrupt, you can rollback to the previous version and disable updates for a set period of time. Alternatively, you can enable previously disabled updates if you had postponed them indefinitely. ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint records snapshots of detection engine and program modules for use with the Rollback feature. In order to create detection engine snapshots, leave Create snapshots of modules enabled. Number of locally stored snapshots Defines the number of previous module snapshots stored. |
To create a custom update profile, select Edit next to List of profiles, enter your own Profile name and click Add. Select profile to edit and modify parameters for module updates types or create an Update mirror. |
Select the type of update to use from the drop-down menu: •Regular update - By default, the Update type is set to Regular update to ensure that update files will automatically be downloaded from the ESET server with the least network traffic. •Pre-release update - Are updates that have gone through thorough internal testing and will be available to the general public soon. You can benefit from enabling pre-release updates by having access to the most recent detection methods and fixes. However, pre-release updates might not be stable enough at all times and SHOULD NOT be used on production servers and workstations where maximum availability and stability is required. •Delayed update - Allows 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 therefore considered as stable). Ask before downloading update When a new update is available, you will be prompted before downloading it. Ask if an update file size is greater than (KB) If the update file size is greater than the value specified in the field, a notification will be displayed. Disable notification about successful update Turns off the system tray notification at the bottom right corner of the screen. It is useful to select this option if a full-screen application is running. Note that Presentation mode will turn off all notifications. Modules updates Module updates are set to Choose automatically by default. The update server is the location where updates are stored. If you use an ESET server, we recommend that you leave the default option selected.
Enable more frequent updates of detection signatures Detection engine will be updated in shorter intervals. Disabling this option may negatively impact detection rate. Allow module updates from removable media Update from removable media if contains created mirror. When Automatic selected, updates will run in the background. If you want to show update dialogs select Always ask. Program component update Use the Update mode drop-down menu to choose how ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Program Component Updates (PCU), and micro Program Component Updates (μPCU) are downloaded when a new update is available and applied after the next server restart. Component updates usually modify existing features but may also include new features and fixes. Depending on chosen update mode, the component update can be performed automatically without intervention or confirmation (if a restart is required, you will be asked). Alternatively, you can choose to be notified before the updates are installed.
The following update modes are available: •Ask before update - You will be prompted to confirm or refuse product updates when they are available. This is the default option. A server restart may be required after the component update. •Auto-update - Component updates will be downloaded and installed automatically. Keep in mind that server restart may be required. •Never update - Component updates will not be performed at all. This enables you to run the component updates manually and restart your server during scheduled maintenance window. |
