Every day new viruses appear that threaten the security of your computer. As a result, you should not only install a good antivirus on your computer but also keep it constantly updated.

For Panda Antivirus 2007 to update automatically (without user intervention) when you surf the Internet, check your e-mail, download files, etc., follow the steps below:


How to configure the automatic updates

  1. Check that the Internet Explorer settings do not interfere with the process. To do this:

    1. Open the browser, click on Tools and select Internet Options.
    2. Click on the Security tab and click on the Custom Level... button under Internet.
    3. In User Authentication, Logon, check that the Automatic logon only in Intranet zone or Prompt for user name and password checkbox is enabled.
  2. Open the program Panda Antivirus 2007, following these steps:

    1. Click on Start.
    2. Select Programs.
    3. Choose Panda Antivirus 2007.
    4. Select Panda Antivirus 2007.
  3. In the Panda Status section, open the Updates and subscription option.
  4. Click on Updates Settings
  5. Make sure that the Enable automatic updates option is checked in the Automatic updates section.

    In the User name and password section, type the user name and password assigned by Panda when you registered your product. Be careful when typing this information because it is case sensitive.


    For more information about how to register, click here.

    NOTE: If you have a subscription version or if you have purchase the product from our online store, you do not need to register, as your registered user details will be automatically sent to you.

    If you have forgotten your details, access the User name/password reminder site.
  6. Once the data has been entered, the update will be performed automatically from Panda's website. 
  7. If you connect to the Internet through a proxy server, you need to access the Advanced settings section. Then, click on Internet access settings  and check the option Connect to the Internet via proxy server and follow the steps below to configure access:

     

    • Type the IP address and port of your proxy server in the Address section. If you don't know this information, your network administrator will give it to you.
    • If your proxy server requires authentication, you need to enter the corresponding user name and password in the Password tab.
      These user name and password are not the ones provided by Panda to access the updates. If you don't know this information, your network administrator will give it to you.
    • Once the configuration is completed, click OK to return to the Updates Settings tab.
    If you connect to the Internet using a modem, don't check this option and continue with the following step.
  8. Click on OK to save the automatic updates settings.

 

Once these configuration steps have been completed, the antivirus will update automatically whenever an Internet connection is detected, without user intervention.
