How Quickly Does Patch My PC Release Updates After a Vendor Releases an Update?
Our goal is to release updates the same day the vendor releases the update. We generally release our catalog between 1:00 – 5:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time). You can review a full list of past catalog releases at catalog release history.
If a security update is released later in the afternoon, we often release two catalogs in a scenario where the update is a high-security risk. More minor non-security updates released later in the afternoon will be updated the following business day.
For us to release an update to production, it needs to pass our security validation and installation validation checks.
How are Update Binaries in our Catalog Tested for Malware?
For a detailed process of our malware testing, please review Deep Dive Into Security Validation of Updates and Applications
We upload all vendor installers (.EXE, .MSI, .MSP Files) to VirusTotal to ensure installers for third-party products are free of malware. VirusTotal scans each installer through over 70 different anti-virus engines.
