Automatic Updates Configuration Settings

The Automatic Update Agent installed with F-Secure Client Security tries
to download the automatic updates from the configured update sources in
the following order:
a. If there are Policy Manager Proxies in use in the company
network, the client tries to connect to F-Secure Policy Manager
Server through each Policy Manager Proxy in turn.
b. If the client is configured to use HTTP Proxy, it tries to download
the updates through the HTTP Proxy from F-Secure Policy
Manager Server.
c. Next the client tries to download the updates directly from
F-Secure Policy Manager Server.
d. If there are Policy Manager Proxies in use in the company
network, the client tries to connect to F-Secure Update Server
through each Policy Manager Proxy in turn.
e. If the client is configured to use HTTP Proxy, it tries to download
the updates through the HTTP Proxy from F-Secure Update
Server.
f. After that the client tries to download the updates directly from
F-Secure Update Server.
On the Automatic Updates page on Settings tab, you can specify whether
you want F-Secure Client Security to automatically receive virus and
spyware definition updates.
To allow automatic updates, select the Enable automatic updates check
box. You should always enable automatic updates.
Specify the update polling interval in the Interval for polling Updates from
F-Secure Policy Manager field.
Policy Manager Proxy is a list of F-Secure Policy Manager Proxy servers
available to you. The Automatic Update Agent installed with F-Secure
Client Security connects to them in the priority order specified in this
table.
