I know there are more important things to fix/debug but I would like to remind LS about Auto Updates.
This subject was raised ages ago and there have been many new software and definition file releases since then.
My latest version (free) is 7.0.2.2. As it is free, I am reluctant to criticise too much.
However, in the status window, there is a large green circle with a white tick in it stating Automatic Update : On.
Well, it may be "On" but it doesn't work!
This is quite a high profile omission and doesn't give people much confidence in using the product.
Most anti-malware products (whether free or not) have the Auto Update option.
Although this is hardly a critical matter, would LS please fix it?

Think you will find that Auto Update refers to definition updates only. The update from 7.02.1 to 7.0.2.2 was an update to the software as a whole. Correct me if I am mistaken.

You may be correct, although I would have thought that when checking for defintion updates it would also pick up any software updates as well.
My point is, that it doesn't actually look for updates at all.
On start up, if you look in the log file, there is no indication of checking for updates. This only appears after doing a manual update.

Smirnoff,

Point taken on your observations in the free version. I've just responded to another similar thread here:
Are Auto Updates Supposed To Work In Free Vers?
