smartphone using a PC application, the C:\ directory is usually the easiest
to reach.

f You will see the licenses found on your system, displayed on the screen. In case more
valid licenses were found, you have to select one. The licensing process can be
canceled by pressing the Cancel softkey.

Update
8 Update
8.1 Update
AntiVir Mobile is able to protect your smartphone against malware, only if you regularly
update the scan algorithms (scan engine) and the virus definitions (VDF).
You have the possibility to update these files manually.
Alternatively, you can load the files directly from the web server, using an active Internet
connection.
AntiVir Mobile has a so-called roll-back function.
In case an update fails, AntiVir Mobile automatically resets the version
you had on your system before attempting the update.

To perform an update, proceed as follows:
f Download the update files, for AntiVir Mobile Engine Symbian (Update) and AntiVir

f Copy the files in your smartphone Inbox (C:\System\Mail\ or another subfolder) or
in the C:\ directory (directly in C:, not in a subdirectory).

smartphone, they are automatically saved in your Inbox. If you access your
smartphone using a PC application, the C:\ directory is usually the easiest
to reach.

If the update fails, you will see a short status message.
The program automatically hides this message after a while.

actually modified files.
f Select the menu option Internet Update to perform an update.
