Data Base Updates everyday [REGULAR PROCEDURE]

Just updated to ASCU...

Everyday for the last 3 days, I boot up computer,it is asking me to update database for ASCU.

Is this okay?

 

When I had ASC it never updated the data base...

ASCU is different to ASC because it also has an anti-virus program. This is why it is updating the database everyday, in order to keep the virus library up to date.

Thank you for the response

 

I have avast will there beta conflict?

[Scannan]

It is not recommended to run two antivirus programs as it can lead to conflict. Only one realtime protection should be active, so you must choose which one you wish to use. ASCU can also be run in compatability mode, which will help to avoid conflict.

Hi papab,

 

Thanks for your feedbacks and Scannan's timely reply.:-D

 

As Scannan mentioned, ASC Ultimate is an anti-virus software. Thus, it needs to update the database everyday to protect your PC against the latest threats.

 

And ASC Ultimate can run with other security software in compatible mode.

 

For any other confusions, please feel free to tell us.

 

Thanks for supporting IObit.

Better uninstall Avast since I'm 99.99% sure that it would pose a system conflict. By the way, is it really normal for the database to load updates daily?

Hi Peleus,

I would hope that it updates more than once a day, to cover any new threat.

However your comment got me thinking

In ASCU AV settings there is no "regular update schedule option"

it might be usefull, ie every 60/120/240/etc mins.

Or it may be IObit controlled, automatically updated as and when.

Can anyone tell me if the auto update has been fixed in ASCU?

[Scannan]

Hi pell31

 

I am not aware of any issue with the ASCU auto update. Are you having a specific problem.

[pell31]

No, but I don't get any requests to update.

I used to get updates almost every day at one time.

Hi pell31,

 

Thanks for your feedback.

 

Yeah, you should receive the database update everyday. How long have not you received the database update?

 

Besides, please download the tool from: http://download.iobit.com/test/info-helper-v6.exe

 

 

Then double click to run this tool and click “Save report to Desktop”. So you will get zipped file ASC6_Info_File.zip on your desktop. Please send it to us so that we can look into the issue further.

 

Thank you for supporting IObit!
