On the blue-shaded left hand menu, start by clicking the "Updates" option at the bottom on the screen.



2.)

On the Updates menu, simply click the "Check for Updates" button to locate and available updates and have them automatically installed. After updating is complete, hit the "Protection" link on the side menu to return to the main menu.



3.)

Finally, from the main menu, locate the "Enable All Protection" link on the lower "Quick Tasks" portion on the main window to activate your newly updated protection. And that's it! You are now fully updated against thousands of the most common typed of spyware. By checking for these updates once a week, you can ensure your system will remain spyware free.
