Filter List (iGuard) Updates

Filter list updates help to keep your iPrism's URL database current with the constantly updated

Scheduling Filter List (iGuard) Updates
• In the System Preferences window, in the iGuard Updates frame, click Update Now to update
immediately; or, to specify a time to download updates, type a time, and select AM or PM.
Note: It is recommended that automatic updates be done during the late night
