Why Can’t I Receive System Mechanic Pro Virus Definition Updates?

Some System Mechanic Pro users are experiencing difficulty downloading new virus definitions, the essential protective mechanism that keeps your PC safe from the very latest malware threats.

The inability—or only intermittent ability—to receive new virus definitions can stem from the settings in your broadband router. If you are unable to connect, you may need to bypass your computer’s proxy settings. System Mechanic Pro makes this easy:

Within the Updates tab, select Do not use a proxy server to connect to the Internet. Establishing a direct connection to download new virus definitions should resolve the issue.
