Chapter 11. Updates
BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices was designed with capabilities for triggered
update. At the present time, the risk of getting infected is high, both because new
viruses appear and the existing ones keep on spreading. This is why your antivirus
must be kept up-to-date, by periodically checking the BitDefender servers for new
updates.
