Notify user if product updates are available
If this option is enabled, you will only be notified when new product updates become
available. Updates to the virus definition file and scan engine are performed
independently of this setting. The conditions for this option are: complete configuration
of the update and an open connection to a download server. You will be notified in the
Avira Server Security Console and by email, if email notification has been configured.
Notify once again after n day(s)
If the product update was not installed after the initial notification, enter in this box the
number of days that are to elapse before you are again notified that product updates
are available.
Warning
An update of the virus definition file and of the search engine is performed
during every update process independent of the settings for the product update
(see Chapter Updates).

web servers are specified, separate each one by a comma.
