[CLOSED] Virus definition (Manual update)

Post by Dr. Schnellinger »

Can I manually update the virus definition for this antivirus?

I used to run Microsoft Security Essentials but it is for hi-tech machines as it consumes a high ammount of resources (CPU and RAM), and I used to update the virus and spyware definitions manually, going here

https://support.microsoft.com/es-es/kb/971606

and downloading the x86 version.

So can I do this with panda free as well?

You don't need to manually update the definitions as the updates are automatically downloaded every day
But if you want to force a manual update, you can go to the antivirus settings and click the Update now button in the general section

Yes, I know, I forgot to mention that my PCs are offline and will be that way for a long time so an automatic update is not an option for me.
