I believe that is you are using the preconfigured rules (pr_*) that Cisco aims to have the updated rules & checks within 48 hours of release. I have seen it take as long as Friday to be updated.
I believe Cisco recommends updating once a day. I tend to update once a week to allow time for the checks to get published & tested by others.

Now, I have a need to “adjust” the “update” timers. I am wondering how the updates really work. For instance – our server is set to check Cisco every 4 hours for “updates”. Does this mean that if M$ releases a critical patch at 2pm EST, that by 6pm EST, my clients will fail to work if they don’t have it? I think I have seen in the manager the ability to adjust the time on a anti-virus definition to be x # of days old, but what about the updates from Microsoft? Thanks in advance for the info!
