Signature updates or updates represent updates to the GBox detection engines.
There are 3 types of update packages:
  • Gmalcore packages (latest_malcore): these packages only contain updates to the antivirus engines and databases used by Malcore.

  • Sandbox packages (latest_sandbox): these packages contain updates to the signatures and modules used by the Gnest engine sandboxes.

  • Complete packages (latest_full): these packages are a combination of the two previous packages.

This screen enables viewing the history and status of the installation:

  • For packages downloaded in a scheduled manner

  • For packages downloaded manually

If a package needs updating:

  • The progress bar in the `Reading the gwp file` field starts to advance. This means that the file has been downloaded and the system is checking its integrity

  • Progress bar in the `Updating malcore` field begins to progress. This corresponds to the processing of the Malcore engine files

  • The progress bar in the `Updating sandbox` field starts to move: this corresponds to the processing of updates to signatures and modules used by the sandbox

To use a package file from the remote PC, use the `Browse` button (4).

Important

In this case, select a GWP package file, only from those of the solution's engines.
Hotfix and upgrade packages will not work in this screen.

For implementation, see the Manual installation of a signature update procedure.
