How often are virus signature updates released?
Declude EVA hooks into a standard desktop scanner (such as McAfee or F-Prot), so the virus definitions are updated as quickly as the AV company provides them (usually within a few hours). The internal AVG AV scanner receives automatic updates typically a few times a day.

The most up-to-date protection that is available, is the Commtouch ZEROHOUR which is integrated into Declude.

Today's viruses, worms and Trojans target the primary weakness in anti-virus technology: the time it takes for new signatures or heuristics to be developed and distributed. Commtouch Zero-Hourâ„¢ Virus Outbreak Protection SDK shields  in the earliest moments of malware outbreaks, and right through as new variants emerge.

  • Signature-less
    Signature-less protection is an essential complement to traditional AV technologies, security experts agree. By proactively scanning the Internet and identifying massive virus outbreaks as soon as they emerge, Commtouch's Zero-Hour Solution provides just that: proactive virus blocking that is effective and signature-independent.
  • Immediate
    Commtouch provides proactive virus detection to close the early-hour vulnerability gap during which millions of users are infected. Commtouch's proactive virus detection capabilities ensure users' protection hours before signatures are released.
  • Proven
    Robust and inherently immune to emerging foiling attempts, Commtouch has a proven record of being the first and highest performing among proactive virus control solutions. Commtouch's Zero-Hour Virus Outbreak Protection Solutions are based on RPD technology, which has a track record of protecting million of users globally.
