12.7.4 Web server
The update can be performed directly via a web server on the Internet or the intranet.
Web server connection
Use existing connection (network)
This setting is displayed if your connection is used via a network.
Use the following connection:
This setting is displayed if you define your connection individually.
The Updater automatically detects which connection options are available. Connection
options which are not available are grayed out and cannot be activated. A dial-up
connection can be established manually via a phone book entry in Windows, for
example.
– User: Enter the user name of the selected account.
– Password: Enter the password for this account. For security, the actual
characters you type in this space are replaced by asterisks (*).
Note
If you have forgotten an existing Internet account name or password, contact your
Internet Service Provider.
Note
The automatic dial-up of the updater through so-called dial-up tools (e.g. SmartSurfer,
Oleco, ...) is currently not available in Avira AntiVir Professional.
Terminate a dial-up connection that was set up for the update
If this option is enabled, the RDT connection made for the update is automatically
interrupted again as soon as the download has been successfully carried out.
Note
This option is not available under Vista. Under Vista the dial-up connection opened for
the update is always terminated as soon as the download has been carried out.
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 web servers of Avira GmbH are
specified for updating AntiVir Professional. 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.
