Avira AntiVir Server
50
If this option is enabled, no automatic product updates or notifications of available
product updates by the Updater are performed. Updates to the virus definition file and
search engine are performed independently of this setting.
Important
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).
The update can be performed directly via a web server on the Internet or the intranet.
Download
Standard-Server
Enter the addresses (URL) of the web servers from which the updates and the required
update directory 'update' are to be loaded. The format for the address of the web server
is as follows: http://<address of the web server>[:Port]/update. If you do not specify a
port, port 80 will be used. By default, the accessible Avira GmbH web servers are
specified for updating. You can, however, use your own web servers on the company
intranet. If a number of web servers are specified, separate each one by a comma.
Default
The button restores the predefined addresses.
Priority server
In this field, enter the update directory and URL of the web server that will first be
requested to provide the update. If this server cannot be reached, the standard servers
indicated will be used. The format for the address of the web server is as follows:
http://<address of web server>[:Port]/update. If you do not specify a port, port 80 will be
used.
10.4.2 File server
In the case of more than one workstation on a network, your AntiVir program can
download an update from a file server in the intranet, which in turn obtains the update
files from a proprietary download server on the Internet. This ensures that the AntiVir
program is up-to-date on all workstations.
Note
The Configuration heading is only enabled if under Settings::Update::Update the via File
Server / Shared folders option has been selected.
Download
Enter the name of the file server on which the update files for your AntiVir program and
the required directories '/release/update/' are located. The following must be specified:
file:// <IP address of the file server>/release/update/. The 'release' directory must be a
directory that can be accessed by all users.
The button opens a window in which you can select the required download directory.
