Anti-virus signature files are updated almost daily by anti-virus software vendors. These files are made available to anti-virus clients as they are published. Keeping virus signature files as current as possible is vital to the security of any system. By configuring a system to attempt an anti-virus update on a daily basis, the system is ensured of maintaining an anti-virus signature age of 7 days or less. If the update attempt were to be configured for only once a week, and that attempt failed, the system would be immediately out of date.
