Database Update Frequency - Spam filtering and Deep Guard

QJ1N95

Hi,

 

Does anyone know the update frequency for Spam filtering and Deep Guard?

 

Mine currently states

 

                 Deep Guard:                                4 days ago (2013-08-06_01)

                 Spam filtering:                              4 days ago (2013-05-29_02)

 

Are these updated as new threats arise and not on a regular cycle?

 

Thanks.

Simon

My Spam Filtering states 24 days ago!  I'm guessing these aren't updated as often as the virus and spyware definitions.  In fact, having just checked the logs, it seems that the spam filtering database was even quite old when it was downloaded:

 

2013-07-19 18:04:05.062 [04f0.0d30]  I: Downloaded 'F-Secure Anti-Spam Update 2013-04-15_01' - 'ASPAM' version '2013041501' from updates-tp.sp.f-secure.com, 3503577 bytes (download size 1968140 bytes)

I bet that's engine update, not the database

Simon

That corresponds with the date of the last database update, and in fact, it gives the gives the version date next to the update, which appears to be 15th April:

I'm sticking with the idea that's its more kind of engine update than database update and it uses cloud for actual database(I have no idea how spam filter works)

Simon

Actually, now you've mentioned the cloud database, I guess that makes sense.

@simon,

 

are you using the beta? As my Spam filtering only says 4 days ago!

 

Simon

Yes, I'm using the latest beta, installed when you installed yours - but didn't you do a clean installation? My 'new' beta was updated from the original one, so maybe it goes on the last full install, not just an upgrade? What's the date beside yours?
