Schedule a software update

Keep your software up-to-date with the latest anti-virus DAT, anti-virus engine, and extra drivers by scheduling an automatic update.

Note

By default the product update occurs based on the repository settings specified in SiteList Editor. To change the repository settings, use SiteList Editor from Start → McAfee option. However, if your computer is managed by an ePolicy Orchestrator - On-premises server, the product update will occur based on the settings provided in ePolicy Orchestrator - On-premises.

Click Dashboard → Statistics & Information.
From the Versions & Updates section, click Update Information tab.
From Update Frequency, click Edit Schedule.
The Edit Schedule page appears.
From Choose a time, select an option depending on the required software update frequency.
Tip
As a best practice, schedule a daily update, by selecting Days and specifying 1 under Every day(s) text box. Perform software updates during non-business hours or when the network traffic is low.
Click Save, then Apply.

You have now successfully scheduled a software update.
