as Mr. John said Two weeks is too long between virus signature and virus application updates..<br />
<br />
you must update daily wise ....the dat ..on epo... so all the clients will get updates... if the network is too huge ..then you can create agent handlers so the network traffic will saggrigate ..<br />
<br />
be aware of the issues... no internet even the plug n play devices can corrupt your network... <br />
<br />
all the best

I am administering an isolated network without any internet access. &nbsp; We are using Mcafee Endpoint Security managed by EPO and Windows 10 clients with McAfee agents. &nbsp;I update the repository directory with current DAT files manually every couple of weeks and then run update master repository and update clients.<br />
<br />
Windows 10 Action center keeps nagging that AV is out of date. How does Windows 10 know when an update might be due if network is isolated?<br />
Is there any way to adjust the Action Center to provide out of date warning to match my manual update schedule. &nbsp;note: I do not want to turn off AV notifications altogether, since I do want reminders.<br />
<br />
Thank you

Windows 10 Action Center and McAfee status integration; How?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Anti-Virus Apps

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
