Hi All,

You can run "diagnose autoupdate versions" on fortigate and then compare the db versions with the latest pupblished on Fortiguard (https://www.fortiguard.com/services/antivirus).

For example, below output shows the AV db version on my FGT is "Version: 91.07944" and the screenshot from Fortiguard shows the same was released an hour ago and there is one more version available now.
