Keeping F-Secure Mobile Security Up-To-Date

3.5.1

Selecting the Update Mode

F-Secure Mobile Security includes an automatic update service, which
means that the virus definition database in the application is updated
regularly. Only an up-to-date virus definition database protects your
device against the latest viruses.
The application requires an active Internet connection for the updates.
When a connection to the Internet is available, the application checks
when the virus definition database was last updated and downloads new
updates if necessary.
You can freely update F-Secure Mobile Security as long as you
have an active subscription. To keep your device continuously
protected, purchase additional service time well before the
expiration date.
Automatic updates are in use after you have activated the product. If you
disable automatic updates or do not use real-time scanning mode, you
need to update the application manually.
To change the update mode, follow these instructions:
1. Tap Settings in the main view.
2.
Tap Virus protection
3.
Select one of the following Automatic updates mode.
Always - the application downloads regular updates from the
update server automatically to keep the virus definition database
up-to-date.
In home network – the application downloads updates from the
update server automatically when your device is connected to the
network of your service provider. (recommended)
Never – the virus definitions are not updated automatically. We do
not recommend that you disable automatic updates.
