iAntivirus Definition Update

I just install iAntivirus on June 4th and I don't understand why it is not updating virus definition.

 

I checked the Scan Preferences and it is indicated below:

Virus definition date:  5/2/12  (This is over 30 days ago..  Is this normal?)

Number of virus signatures:  36,995 (Only 37K virus signatures? )

 

Please someone let me know about how to update "iAntivirus" definition.

 

Also, can I install "iAtivirus" and "Sophos Home Free Antivirus" program same time?

 

Thank you,

Re: iAntivirus Definition Update

Please disregards my question. 

I un-installed "iAntivirus" from my Mac Air. 

I waited over 10 days to "iAntivirus" to update the virus definition, but no update was occurred. 

From checking 'iAntivirus" Preference - difinition date: May 2, 2012, it was over 40 days old. 

 

Per "iAntivirus" web site:  http://www.iantivirus.com/product/ , it indicated "Automatic Update 24/7; but, I guess that is not true........  

 

I have Norton 360 for three other Window PCs and I trust the "Norton", but not "iAntivirus" program.....   Sorry...........

Re: iAntivirus Definition Update

Just to clarify, there is currently no update feature in the product, but without getting specific, let's just say we're well aware of the need for that feature.  The product was recently updated to version 1.0.1 with June 14 definitions (which are significantly more compact than the previous signatures).

Re: iAntivirus Definition Update

Does that mean that you will do virus definitions update through the App Store updates?

Re: iAntivirus Definition Update

Yes, currently that's how it's being done. There's a little lag due to the acceptance process by Apple on product updates.
