Configurable Update Frequency

[Guest]

I think there should be an option to configure the update interval, as well as
making it possible to disable auto updates altogether.

Some people (including me) might not want CIS to check for updates
every 30 minutes or so (as it might be planned in future versions)

So please ... make it configurable and switch-off-able, thus making everyone
happy.

I think it could be useful, every (at least almost every) AV allows to disable auto updates so CAV should as well.

I agree, I am seeing the updater way to often. Once a week would suffice in my case.

+1 for giving people the choice.

+1. Mostly for configuring the update frequency.

You mean set your AV to check for updates once a week? The bare minimum should be daily. Having it update once a week would greatly decrease its detection effectiveness.

hello everybody

I summarized a bunch of update options in the usability forum (post #1, post #2, post #3). For those of you who do not have privileges to access that forum, the pic below summarizes the features that I recommended.  It shows your suggestions, including the option to set the update interval in hours (1 to 99) and the option to disable automatic updates.

+50 I can't believe that there are no settings to setup the update frequency... I hope something like this gets integrated into the new version.

30 minutes was very high frequency.

30 minutes was very high frequency.

Even if the option to configure this does eventually become available, leaving it at 30 minutes would be wise, considering COMODO should have their 30 minute updates available by that time.

Yes this is really good idea

Would be nice, my CIS updates every 10-15 min. 
Update 1x per day shout be reach.

I have unselected my "Automatically update virus database before scanning" in the Real Time Scanning tab in Virus Scanner Settings.  Doing this has caused all those 10-15 min database updates to cease, thankfully.  However now unless I run a manual scan (I still have that update before scanning box selected) the virus database doesn't update at all.

So my request is that an update scheduler be implemented into the Anti-virus that can be set for a certain time of day, because updating more than once a day is IMHO unnecessary.

Thanks for listening.
