What is the average time for the automatic updates with Bit Defender?


Are these released once a day? Hourly?


Thanks,

    Hello Robert,


    BitDefender team releases virus definitions once every hour.


    Product updates (which include bug-fixes, and maybe new features) are released once every 2-3 months.

    i've got my updater set to 1 hour.


    Each time it checks it always downloads something (rarely ever getting the no update available notice).


    So i would assume it's updated everytime a new signature is produced, be it 30 minutes from your last update, or an hour... Mods, what say you?

    Yes, it updates everytime a file is put on the server. It's not related to "signatures being produced", because you don't download signatures. You download files, which contain more than one signature.


    Basically, if you want to see when exactly BD made an update, and what files were downloaded, you can check the History (BD Security Center -> History -> Update). Also, you can set BitDefender to automatically check for updates, but ask you before downloading them. This way, you know when it downloads something, and you also have the possibility to deny it. :)
