Product updates provide automatic updates of ESET products and reduce required maintenance. Product updates do not interfere with the running instance of the endpoint and load new drivers, components, and modules only after the recommended restart. Auto-updates do not require an immediate restart.
Product updates upgrade your product rather than reinstall it, download less data (differential), come with a friendly or completely suppressible reminder for the user, and are compatible with managed networks. Additionally, auto-updates will update the endpoint when the package goes through a successful global release.
Unmanaged environments – By default, Ask before downloading update is disabled in ESET Windows endpoint products. When enabled, a confirmation dialog will be displayed when a new update is available.
