Understanding the AutoUpgrade utility
Dr Solomon's Software revises Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus and the scan engine
regularly to add new detection and repair capabilities, new features for
manageability and flexibility, and other enhancements that make it a better
anti-virus security tool. Dr Solomon's Anti-Virus's AutoUpgrade utility is
designed specifically to look for and download these new versions as they
become available. You can use this utility in conjunction with the SuperDAT
utility to automate scan engine upgrades. To learn how to do so, see
the AutoUpgrade and SuperDAT utilities together" on page
The AutoUpgrade utility runs exclusively as a task from within the Dr
Solomon's Anti-Virus Console. To use it to upgrade your Dr Solomon's
Anti-Virus, you must:
• Set a schedule for the AutoUpgrade task, and enable it to run
• Set a password to protect your configuration settings, if you wish
• Configure the task to download new files from a specific location on your
network, or on the Internet
By contrast, the Retrieve the Update file but do not perform the
update option saves the unextracted file, but does not install the
new .DAT files.
To tell the AutoUpdate utility where to save the .DAT file package,
enter a path and folder name in the text box below this checkbox, or
click Browse to locate a suitable folder.
• Run a Program after a successful Update. Select this checkbox to
tell the utility to start another program after it installs new .DAT
files. You might want to use this option, for example, to start an
e-mail client program or a network message utility that notifies a
system administrator that the update operation completed
successfully.
Next, enter the path and file name for the program you want to run,
or click Browse to locate the program on your hard disk.
