Before you can update virus definition databases manually, you have to
disable the periodic database update. To disable periodic database
updates, edit the crontab of root:
1. Run the following command
crontab -e
2. Add # to the beginning of the following line to comment it out:
*/1 * * * * /opt/f-secure/fsav/bin/fsavpmd --dbupdate-only >/dev/null 2>&1
Follow these instructions to update virus definition databases manually
from the command line:
1. Download the fsdbupdate.run file from:
http://download.f-secure.com/latest/fsdbupdate.run
fsdbupdate.run is a self-extracting file that stops the automatic update
agent daemon, updates databases and restarts the automatic update
agent.
2. Run fsdbupdate.run as root user.
3. Run dbupdate as root user.
You can use the fsfwc command line tool to view and change the current
security profile.
