Viewing Update Information

F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus includes an update service, which means that
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can be updated regularly to keep the virus
definition database up to date. An up-to-date virus definition database is
needed for proper functioning of F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus: only an
up-to-date virus definition database enables finding and removing even
the most recently found viruses.
The virus definition database contains information of all the viruses that
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can find during the scan. F-Secure Mobile
Anti-Virus requires an active Internet connection to connect to the update
service for receiving virus definition database updates and keeping virus
protection up to date.
When a new virus or other malicious software emerges, a new virus
definition database update can be retrieved from the update service. It is
important that you keep your virus definition database up to date. Only
with up-to-date virus definition database, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can
find all the latest viruses and thus ensure you the best possible protection.
