The Update menu of the Configuration menu retrieves detailed configuration
options for the online update and the message window:
-
Install program help
Choose this option when you need help files. Users of slow modem Internet connections
can save download time with disabling this option.
-
Install additional languages
If this option is enabled, all available language updates will be downloaded.
If it is disabled, just language updates of the current used language will be
downloaded.
-
Install beta updates
Choose that option if you always want to use the latest but untested
beta version of the software (if a beta is available). Beta software is often
not stable enough for daily use and should just be used by experienced users
who can fix the installation at a push. There is no warranty for beta versions.
The use is at your own risk!
-
Submit names of detected Malware
Choose this option to allow transferring the names of the last detected Malware files
by a-squared to the a-squared server when updating. The data will be saved anonymous
and just for statistical purpose to detect Malware pandemics faster.
-
Join the Anti-Malware Network
Choose this option to submit detected objects automatically to the a-squared analysis team.
This will help, to improve the quality of a-squared. New signatures for heuristic detections
can be created faster and false alerts can be detected and fixed immediately.
