Running Update Now

About this task

Keeping client components current is essential to ensuring that your computer stays protected. The Update Now feature allows updating at any time. The client connects to an update source to check for updates to security components that detect the latest viruses, spyware, and malware. If updates are available, the client automatically downloads the components.

Note: Update Now always updates from the cloud and not the BigFix Server, whether the endpoint runs remotely or connects to the LAN.

Procedure

  1. Right-click on the CPM client console icon in the system tray.
  2. Click Update Now from the console menu.
  3. In the Update Status tab, click Update Now. When complete, a message displays saying, "Component update is complete."
