10. Updates
10.1. Update Types
You can distinguish between two types of update:
·
On demand update
is an immediate
AVG LinkScanner®
update that can be
performed any time the need arises.
·
Scheduled update
- within
AVG LinkScanner®
it is also possible to
pre-set
an update plan
. The planned update is then performed periodically according to
the setup configuration. Whenever new update files are present on the
specified location, they are downloaded either directly from the Internet, or
from the network directory. When no newer updates are available, nothing
happens.
10.2. Update Process
The update process can be launched immediately as the need arises by the
Update
now
quick link
. This link is available at all times from any
AVG LinkScanner® user
interface
dialog. However, it is still highly recommended to perform updates regularly
as stated in the update schedule editable within the
Update manager
component.
Once you start the update,
AVG LinkScanner®
will first verify whether there are new
update files available. If so,
AVG LinkScanner®
starts their downloading and launches
the update process itself. During the update process you will get redirected to the
Update
interface where you can view the process progressing in its graphical
representation as well as in an overview of relevant statistic parameters (
update file
size, received data, download speed, elapsed time, ...
).
