Update the Antivirus Database

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2025-12-30

The antivirus database can be updated online and offline.

Online update

By default, if the Athena EPP manager is connected to the Internet, the antivirus database is automatically updated online.

Offline update

If the Athena EPP manager is disconnected from the Internet, you can manually update the antivirus database offline by performing the following steps:

  1. Download the offline antivirus database or engine and verify its MD5 value.

To download the antivirus database, visit https://community.sangfor.com and go to Self Services > Download > Athena EPP > Anti-virus Database.

  1. Log in to the Athena EPP manager. Go to System > System Updates > Signature Databases, and click Import Update Package. Then, select the antivirus database downloaded in Step 1. After the antivirus database and engine are imported to the Athena EPP manager, the Athena EPP agent will automatically update the antivirus database and engine, as shown in the following figure.
