4.4.1.1 Update profiles
For various update configurations, it is possible to create user‑defined
update profiles which can be used for a given update task. Creating
various update profiles is especially useful for mobile users, as the
Internet connection properties regularly change. By modifying the
update task, mobile users can specify that if it is not possible to
update the program using the configuration specified in My Profile,
the update will be performed using an alternative profile.
The Selected profile drop‑down menu displays the currently selected
profile. By default, this entry is set to My profile. To create a new
profile, click the Profiles... button and then click the Add... button
and enter your own Profile name. When creating a new profile, you
can copy settings from an existing one by selecting it from the Copy
settings from profile: drop‑down menu.
Within the profile setup, you can specify the update server to which
the program will connect and download updates; any server from
the list of available servers can be used, or a new server can be added.
The list of existing update servers is accessible via the Update server:
drop‑down menu. To add a new update server, click Edit… in the
Update settings for selected profile section and then click the Add
button.

To view the Advanced update setup, click the Setup... button.
Advanced update setup options include configuration of Update

4.4.1.2.1 Update mode
The Update mode tab contains options related to the program
component update.
In the Program component update section, three options are
available:
▪ Never update program components
▪ Always update program components
▪ Ask before downloading program components
Selecting the option Never update program components ensures
that after a new program component update has been issued by ESET,
it will not be downloaded and no program component update will
actually take place on the given workstation. The Always update
program components option means that program component
updates will be performed each time a new update is available
on ESET‘s update servers, and that program components will be
upgraded to the downloaded version.
Select the third option, Ask before downloading program
components to ensure that the program will ask the user to confirm
downloading of program component updates at the moment such
updates are available. In this case, a dialog window containing
information about the available program component updates will
be displayed, with the option to confirm or refuse it. If confirmed,
updates are downloaded and new program components will be
installed.
The default option for a program components update is Ask before
downloading program components.
After installation of a program component update, it is necessary to
restart the system in order to provide full functionality of all modules.
The section Restart after program component upgrade allows you
to select one of the following three options:
▪ Never restart computer
▪ Oer computer restart if necessary
▪ If necessary, restart computer without notifying
The default option for restarting is Oer computer restart if
necessary. Selection of the most appropriate options for program
