Antivirus Updates

I'm currently using Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013.

If I am not mistaken.....I believe that Bitdefender automatically searches for updates every 15 minutes.

My question is......if I want to change that to only once every hour to search for new updates.......how do I go about changing the settings for that?

Thanks

You can't. BitDefender doesn't want a lot of settings so a novice user doesn't get confused and mess something up from what I understand. This should be implemented because something as simple as choosing when to have the product auto-update should be in every antivirus product. For now, you can disable auto update and do it manually if you want to change how often it updates.

Hi SportsFan

I can't remember where Georgia showed us us here on the English forum to change the update frequency, so I'll give you a translation from her post on the Romanian forum: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=181108

The image may be a little blurry, you can use Google Chrome's translator to see it better.

I've changed my notebook BD update settings

Thank you Georgia, for showing us how

Since the updates are made every week, is it also possible to set it up to search for updates let's say once a week?

@ SportsFan - You can find the English version of the instructions from Georgia that Scott refers to in post #2 of this thread in the Update section of the 2013 products sub forum:

@dwaynnyt - You could work out how many seconds are in a week and try putting that in the product updates line as the interval value
