Most remind you when a definition is out of date or upgraded version is introduces. Some upload a live update everytime you sign in to see what you have, don't have and need.

Out-of-date antivirus software means ineffective antivirus software so make sure you are up to date even if it reminds you itself. They normally make the indications pretty eye catching as to if you are out of date but they do not remind you in all occasions. Look up the update status option in your software to check if you have the latest version and what to download if you don't.

Purchase an annual subscription from your antivirus software company to make sure your antivirus software stays current and effective. If you have purchased a subscription, most antivirus software will update itself when you are connected to the internet.
