How do I know If I have received the latest Scan Engine?
As the new and improved Scan Engine is rolled out to Seqrite Endpoint Security products as part of the daily updates, the complete process is seamless and similar to how you receive daily signature updates (VDB).
Products having a Virus Database (VDB) of 23-Dec-2019 or higher will have the latest Scan Engine.
If you have setup and configured the Update Manager to download and manage the latest updates for Seqrite Endpoint Security, you will implicitly receive the latest scan engine without performing any additional steps.
It is important to keep your Seqrite product’s Virus Database (VDB) up-to-date to ensure your endpoints are protected against the latest malware.
Will this have any impact on my current configurations or ongoing/scheduled AV scan?
No, since the complete process is seamless, all the configurations and related files are intact. There will not be any visible symptoms of this change. In fact, with the performance improvements introduced, the new engine will lead to a better experience and reduced load on system disk and RAM.
