Update management: introduction

To make sure your computer's protection is optimal, you must keep the software installed on them properly up to date. This involves searching for vulnerable out-of-date software, downloading the relevant updates and installing them.

Your product includes an update manager which detects third-party applications with missing patches or in EOL (End-Of-Life) stage, as well as all patches and updates published by Microsoft for all of its products (operating systems, databases, Office applications, etc.).

When searching for updates, you can choose between looking for critical updates only, or performing an in-depth search of all updates that must be installed on your computer. You also have the option to view a history of all updates installed, as well as scheduling daily, weekly or monthly searches.

To access this feature, click the Update Manager section in the main window of the product.
