AVG stations to use the current file to perform the program/virus database update.

Generally, there are two options of update files local mirroring. The recommended

option is using the UpdateProxy role, that can be deployed also on multiple servers.

See the Deploying multiple UpdateProxy roles chapter for more information.

By using this, the AVG Admin Server is able to automatically download all necessary

update files. AVG stations then search for the update files on the computer with the

AVG Admin Server running. This option is considered the preferred way of update file

distribution within the local network.

However, it is possible to use any other web server for this kind of update. The server

only has to share one isolated folder accessible by AVG stations. When you are using

Microsoft Information Server, for example, the root of all the accessible folders is

usually C:\InetPub\wwwroot. Supposing C:\InetPub\wwwroot\avgupdate folder, which

is accessible by web interface, is present on the web server called localweb. Web

(HTTP) clients can access documents and files in this directory by the URL http://

localweb/avgupdate. Following these steps, AVG stations will use the same URL http://

localweb/avgupdate for updates.

Update files for distribution can be downloaded from the http://www.avg.com website,

section Downloads.
