When should definition files be updated for the program your computer uses to scan for viruses and malware?
At least once per week.
Only during a full virus scan.
Immediately when updates are available.
When the administrator directs that updates be downloaded.
Many virus scan programs perform active monitoring of your system to identify threats in real time. If the definitions are old, the scan may miss a recently identified threat and put your system at risk. All updates should be applied as soon as they are available.
Edit: Users should not have the controls to modify their security tools or virus definitions. The admin should be the one who schedules the automatic updates. Also, for secure networks, updates may need to go through a rigorous screening process before they can be applied to the production environment.
