Configuring Your Software for Maximum Protection
In order to obtain maximum protection, the software must be configured by the user to update the program and the virus definition files (commonly referred to as Dat files or Databases) automatically every day. The virus database files contain instructions to the antivirus program on how to remove viruses from your computer.
If you experience difficulty with the auto update function, you may contact the FSU Help Desk (301-687-7777).
