This page provides 4 files for downloading. Note that it may be difficult to download and extract these 
files if you have a client-side virus scanning software installed. 

Sophos and McAfee frequently update their virus definitions with newly-identified viruses. These 
updates must be passed to your appliance. 

By default, the Cisco appliance is configured to check for updates every 5 minutes. For the Sophos and 
McAfee anti-virus engines, the server updates from a dynamic website. 

The system does not timeout on updates as long as the update is actively downloading to the appliance. 
If the update download pauses for too long, then the download times out.

The maximum amount of time that the system waits for an update to complete before timing out is a 
dynamic value that is defined as 1 minute less than the anti-virus update interval (defined on Security 
Services > Service Updates). This configuration value aids appliances on slower connections while 
downloading large updates that may take longer than 10 minutes to complete.  

You can configure virus update settings via the Security Services > Service Updates page. For example, 
you can configure how the system receives anti-virus updates and how often it checks for updates. For 
more information about these additional settings, see 

You can use the Security Services > Sophos or McAfee page or the 

antivirusstatus

 CLI command to 

verify the appliance has the latest anti-virus engine and identity files installed, and to confirm when the 
last update was performed.

You can also manually perform updates. See
