Immediately after installation, the Bitdefender for Marshal updater attempts to retrieve the latest virus scanning Engine and signature files. If you need to configure proxy settings, you should do so immediately and then start an update manually.

To configure settings and start an update, start "Bitdefender for Marshal Configuration" from the Start menu. (Installation creates shortcuts in the submenu for each installed product that supports Bitdefender for Marshal). For details of the fields in the configuration tool, see Help.
