Madeline Posted March 22, 2011 .... takes ages! This is partly because I'm on dial-up and partly because it has to be done twice. I usually right click on the icon in the Notification Area and then click 'Check for Updates'. This is fine as far as it goes, I get the latest database, but it's apparently not system-wide. If I go to SAS on my husband's user account, it still shows the old defs. I used to download the latest defs as a .zip file and open it in both user accounts, but even then, it either didn't always show the correct defs or the right date - I've forgotten which! Is there any way I can download the new defs just once please? As it is, I update only once a day because it's so time-consuming. SAS seems to be the only program like this; with other programs I use, updates are system-wide. I find it odd too since scans do seem to be system-wide. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

Madeline Posted March 23, 2011 The upcoming 5.0 has 30% smaller definition files as well as global definitions That's excellent news, thanks. Another good reason to look forward to v5.0! In the meantime, I'll just go on updating as usual. Madeline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
