Check

Use this option to verify connectivity to the server that is currently set to receive malware reports from the appliance. Any time you change the LiveUpdate server URL with the Set option, you must run the Check option and wait until the antimalware agent polls the LiveUpdate server at least once. The polling process takes about 7200 seconds (2 hours). A message appears with the status result of the polling process.

Delete

Use this option to remove your local server that is currently set to receive malware reports from the appliance. Deleting your local server automatically sets the Veritas LiveUpdate server as the default.

Set

After you have changed the server URL with the Set option, the antimalware agent starts a 7200-second (2-hour) window to poll the LiveUpdate server and download malware definition updates. A message appears with the status result of the process.
