Configuration profiles
You have the option of saving your configuration settings as configuration profiles. In
the configuration profile, i.e. of a configuration, all configuration options are saved in a
group. The configuration is displayed in the navigation bar as a node. You can add other
configurations to the default configuration. You can shift between configurations
manually in the context menu of the tray icon. You also have the option of defining rules
for switching to a specific configuration:
When switching configuration using a rule-based procedure, the configuration can be
linked to the use of a LAN or Internet connection (identification via default gateway). In
this way, configuration profiles can be created for different laptop usage scenarios:
– Use on company networks: Update via intranet server, WebGuard disabled
– Use at home: Update via default Avira GmbH web server, WebGuard enabled
You can add, rename, delete, copy or restore configurations and define rules for
switching configurations using the buttons in the navigation bar, or using commands
from the context menu in the configuration section.
Note
Automatic switching to another configuration is not supported in Windows 2000. No
rules for switching configurations can be defined in Windows 2000.
