Update VIPRE Business Threat Definitions

Should the need arise, an Agent's definition files can be manually updated.  Depending on the version of VIPRE Business that you have installed, the steps to manually update your definitions may differ.

For VIPRE Business versions 7.5 and below, we have recently stopped issuing Definition updates to legacy software. If you are using a version of VIPRE older than version 9.3, please use the steps here to update to the latest release.

  3. Select the "Manually Apply Definitions..." option
  4. Navigate to the previously saved Definition File and click Open
  5. Allow the update process to complete (this may take several minutes - note that it's normal for manually applied definitions to be out of date as they might update shortly after they were released)

Once the process is complete, confirm the definition version has been updated.
