F-prot antivirus update monitor

"F-prot antivirus update monitor" is running in msconfig services. What is
it? Is it required?
I do manual updates daily.

Thanks

it is a component that checks to see if there are any program or
signature updates available...

that's a tricky question... it depends on where you draw the line
between what is needed and what is simply nice to have...

signatures updates only or signature and program updates?

Well it keeps coming back even when I disable it in services. So I guess it
will just keep on ticking:)
