Updating Nod32 on a corporate LAN

Hi all; I am in the process of updating my workstations from 2.0 to 2.5. I would like to push the install out to the workstations using Remote Administrator Console, and already have the installation packages ready. My question is: if I don't force a reboot at the end of the install, will my workstations be vulnerable until the reboot occurs? The console says the upgrade is successful, but a reboot is required. When I check the workstation, it seems that Nod is running fine, and the components have actually already updated. By not forcing a reboot, am I opening myself up to potential virus infection?

Thanks in advance.

 

I don't believe they're vulnerable....when I did it at home the services stopped, updated, started again, but you'll notice if you open up NOD on the client, the old green eye background of the panel looks to be the same old version, if you reboot and bring it up, it'll be the new version. So it seems the protection is going on, but the other little details won't be updated until you bounce the rigs.

 

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that was the case.
