Configuring exploit updates

new exploits as they come available. This can be configured from the 

updates tab of the Email Exploit general properties dialog. To access 

this dialog right click on the Email Exploit Engine node, right click and 

select properties. 

To enable checking for updates, ensure that the `Automatically check 

for  updates  option  is  ticked'.  You  can  then  choose  to  automatically 

download  the  updates  or  just  be  notified  when  new  updates  are 

available.    You  can  specify  the  interval  under  the  `Download/Check 

every:' option. 

Triggering the update manually 

You can trigger a manual download of the updates by clicking on the 

 Download updates now  button.

location, can be configured from the General > General settings node
