| Zone Alarm too, sort of:  IF this pastes readable, here's the
| Help page text:
|
| Setting update options
|
| When you purchase Zone Labs security software you receive a year
| of free updates. You can check for updates manually, or set Zone
| Labs security software to check automatically.
|
| To set check for update settings:
| Select Overview|Preferences.
| In the Check for Updates area, choose an update option.
| Automatically- Zone Labs security software
| automatically -notifies -  you when an update is available.
|
| Manually -You monitor the Status tab for updates. To invoke an
| update check immediately, click Check for Update.


Does the pro version contain the option to 'check as soon as the system is
on line?'  I ask as she does not use the system often and there is no
practical way to predict a fixed time when an up date should be skeducled.
Which rases a question is there another program that would do the up date
task for every think base on say once a week whereever she might be on line?
