During the rebase process, the delta definitions are combined with the previous base definition file to form a new base file. The rebase process occurs on both the antivirus definition files and on the antispyware definition files.

Because of the rebase process, the size of the new base files typically increases from the previous month. The new base files contain the base definitions from the previous month and contain all the changes from the new delta definitions.

Immediately after the rebase process, the sizes of the delta definition files reduce significantly. This behavior occurs because all the information that they previously contained is located in their respective base files. As new malware information is generated, it is added to the delta definition files causing the size of the files to grow until the next rebase. The size of the base definition files remains the same between rebases. Microsoft currently releases updates to the malware protection engine at the same time when Microsoft performs the rebase.

This means that when the rebase process occurs, the antimalware agent will receive a new version of all five files that are mentioned in the "Definition Contents" section. A customer can download the Forefront endpoint security definition updates by using any of the following three ways:.
