Updates
Acronis 2021, perpetual license
My anti-malware software is blocking the following exe file: C:/programfiles(x86)\acronis\Agent\bin\updates.exe
This file has arrived once a week in June from a variety of IPs, the latest being 194.26.29.195
I can't find any reference in the help files as to how Acronis updates its software. Can anyone explain what's going on?

That's a fine start, but to finish, now that the update has been previously blocked, how do I request Acronis to update now?

The key point for the referenced KB documents is that your other software should not be blocking the Acronis software - you should be whitelisting Acronis to that other software.
There are no more program updates for ATI 2021 as the application is now out of support, so the only updates would be for either Acronis Active Protection (against ransomware), Vulnerability scanning, or Acronis Cyber Protection if you have subscribed to use that service.
