13.2 How to choose and setup antiviruses

179

Last update check performed ... ago

Time that has passed since the last update check.

Virus database version

Database version that is currently used.

Scanning engine version

McAfee scanning engine version used by WinRoute.

Update now

Use this button for immediate update of the virus database and of the scanning engine.

After you run the update check using the Update now... button, an informational window

displaying the update check process will be opened. You can use the OK button to close

it — it is not necessary to wait until the update is finished.

If updated successfully, the version number of the new virus database or/and the new

antivirus version(s), as well as information regarding the age of the current virus database

will be displayed. If the update check fails (i.e. the server is not available), an error will be

reported and detailed information about the update attempt will be logged into the Error

log.

Each download (update) attempt sets the Last update check performed value to zero.

External antivirus

For external antivirus, enable the Use external antivirus option in the Antivirus tab and select

an antivirus to be employed from the combo box. This menu provides all external antivirus

programs supported in WinRoute by special plugins.

Warning

External antivirus must be installed before it is set in WinRoute, otherwise it is not available

in the combo box. It is recommended to stop the WinRoute Firewall Engine service before an

antivirus installation.
