Avira Professional Security - User Manual (Status: 14 Dec. 2012) 59
In the Control Center under Scheduler, you can create additional update jobs that are
performed by Updater at the specified intervals. You also have the option to start an
update manually:
 in the Control Center: in the Update menu and in the Status section
 via the context menu of the tray icon
Updates can be obtained from the Internet via proprietary web server or via web or file
server on an intranet which downloads the update files from the Internet and makes them
available to other computers on the network. This is useful if you want to update Avira
products on more than one computer in a network. A download server on an intranet can
be used to ensure Avira products are up-to-date on the protected computers using a
minimum of resources. To set up a functioning download server on an intranet, you need a
server that is compatible with the update structure of your Avira product.
Note
You can use Avira Update Manager (file server or web server in Windows) as a
web server or file server in the intranet. Avira Update Manager mirrors the
download servers of Avira products and can be obtained from the Avira website
on the Internet.

When a web server is used, the HTTP protocol is used for the download. When using a file
server, access to the update file is provided via the network. You can configure the
connection to the web server or file server in the Configuration under General > Update.
The default configuration uses the existing Internet connection as the connection to the
Avira web servers.
