Checking for Updates

Encryption for Email provides a software update facility. There are a number of ways in which this facility is invoked:

• Periodic Auto Updates

• Manual Updates

Periodic Auto Updates

Encryption for Email automatically checks your local files against files on the Encryption for Email web server:

• 10 minutes after the Encryption for Email service starts (for example, 10 minutes after you log on)

• Every 24 hours, if the Encryption for Email service is running continuously

This check runs in the background. You are only notified if there are updates available. If an update requires that you restart your computer, Auto Update prompts you.
