Keeping XP-Protector up to date         (7/7)

XP Protector contains semi-automatic update feature. Although it is not as sensitive to regular updates as antiviral programs, it is recommended to check for new versions or patches from time to time (let's say once a month). 

XP Protector will not connect to the internet without your permission and check for updates automatically. To see if there is any update available:

• In the File menu click Update XP Protector.

• A dialog box appears.
• You have two options: update from the internet or update from a file.

A) To update from the Internet:

• Click From the Internet to check for new version on the XP Protector.
• After a while you will be informed if new version is available and if yes, the number will appear in the Version to update: field. 
• If there is no new version available, click the Close button.
• If there is a new version available, click the Update button. 
• New files will be downloaded to a temporary folder and then processed.
• After update you can confirm deletion of the temporary folder unless you want to keep the update package for other computers or so.

B) To update from a folder:

• Visit XP Protector homepage and look for a new version or update package. Use the current version displayed in About box for reference.
• Download the update package to a folder on your computer and unzip (extract) it. There should be two files in the folder for update. 
• In the XP Protector update dialog click From a folder.
• Select the folder where you downloaded update files.
• Click the update button. This will start the update.

 Note: Sometimes the update will not take effect until you restart your computer.
