The protection for OS X has a series of unique characteristics that make it different from the protection for Windows/Linux systems. These are as follows:
In the case of OS X computers, it is not possible to configure the frequency of the automatic updates of the signature file.
48 hours after a signature file version newer than the version currently installed on computers has been released, the computers will appear as out-of-date in the Status window.

In the case of OS X computers it is not possible to perform automatic upgrades. Therefore, when a new version of the protection is made available, it will have to be manually downloaded and installed on computers.
48 hours after a version newer than the version currently installed on computers has been released, the computers will appear as out-of-date in the Status window.
The solution will uninstall the previous version and install the new one.
The option to schedule scans is not available on OS X computers. Additionally, the protection for OS X computers only provides permanent protection for files.
You can uninstall the protection in two ways: downloading the installer or generating an installation URL.
