Greetings Steve & list-- On my three WinXP Pro [SP2] computer home network, all three computers automatically download and apply updated definitions. I have been auto-notified of a program upgrade, for which I went to the main menu and chose the appropriate item to begin the download/ update. The program updated and asked for a restart, and, as smoothly as that, the application was "maintained." HTH Paul A.
