Define the number of days before spyware security intelligence is considered out of date

This policy setting allows you to define the number of days that must pass before spyware security intelligence is considered out of date.

By default, this value is set to 7 days. If you enable this setting, spyware security intelligence will be considered out of date after the number of days specified have passed without an update. If you disable or do not configure this setting, spyware security intelligence will be considered out of date after the default number of days have passed without an update.
