    Good day


    Can to change update frequency of virus signatures? Every 12 hours, 1 time per day etc.


    Thanks

    Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition applies updates automatically if they found after checking for them. That may happen every hour or shortly after restarting the system. Disconnecting from the Internet is the only way to effectively disrupt this process. There was a rare moment when there was no update for over a two days. Security was not affected by this.

    The answer to the OP's question is no.


    BDAV-Free's local store gets a sub-set, about 250, of the the ~900 definition files used in the premium products. Free's protection exists in the cloud (via the Gonzales components and the Nimbus servers) by way of a persistent UDP connection by gzserv.exe . Both Free and Premium products get the updates as BD releases them. Technically, Free doesn't need the files with the caveat that "zero day" protection is dependent on a live Internet connection.

    and temporary port 80 and 443 TCP connections to Nimbus servers as required by gzserv.exe.
