Checking Your Antivirus Definitions


Simply having an antivirus program on your machine does not guarantee that you are protected against the latest viruses and threats. The best way to ensure your protection is up-to-date you must check your virus definition file for updates. Most programs have an automatic updates option. For your computer to completely pass the TSS authorization, your virus definitions must be up-to-date. Checking the date of these definitions is easy!
HOW TO

  1. Start  Programs

    1. This will open your Programs list

  2. Browse through your programs list for any software that may mention Antivirus, Protection, or another related term.

    1. If you’re unsure as to what the program is, simply open it and check it out.

  3. Once you’ve opened your Antivirus program, scan through the control panel looking for “date of last update,” or, in the case of Norton Antivirus, the “Virus Definitions File.”

    1. The date should be recent, as in, within the last couple of weeks.


*Please note*

Users can also go to Start  Control Panel  Add/Remove Programs to browse for an antivirus program.
