Configuring system updates

System updates enable you to keep your GFI WebMonitor installation up to date. When enabled, GFI WebMonitor checks for new updates at specified intervals, then downloads and installs them.

NOTE

During product updates the GFI WebMonitor services need to be stopped and restarted. This action disrupts Internet connections going through GFI WebMonitor. Internet usage can resume once the services are restarted.
