Hi all,

New to the forum.

Virus Signiture Database Version: 1

1)installed CIS first time. updated virus database. successful.
2)got a bases.cav file - size 103,823kb.
3)got a message: “you need to restart your computer for the signature updates to take effect”.
4) after restart bases.cav file back to original 4,546kb size and update status: “never updated”.
