I use FPROT and have never had a virus (but a couple of alarms), so
so-far-so-good. Question - it updates daily - does it do this for
anyone else? There is literally a daily update with new virus
definitions to download. That seems a bit odd.

You can disable automatic updates by going into MS Configuration
Utility and unchecking fpavupdm.exe.

Afterwards you can manually update on your own. If you practice safe
HEX and don't have a mission critical PC, then daily updates are not
really necessary, especially if you have heuristics enabled.

When I was using Kaspersky it sometimes would update more than once a day.
If something new is around why not...it *is* a good thing, don't you think?
