Updater
Keeps
Backups
The Internet Updater replaces installed files with newer versions when updates are
available. Even if the program is testing the new files, you might want to keep backups of
earlier versions.
When activating this option, your existing files will be moved to the newly created
subdirectories of
/usr/lib/AntiVir
, named
updater-backup-YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS
.
UpdaterKeepsBackups
GnuPG...
GnuPG settings:
The Updater can check the updates for authenticity using GnuPG. For more information,
see
Verifying Updates Authenticity with GnuPG
– Page 47. If you use GnuPG, you have to
enter the path to GnuPG executable, for example:
GnuPGBinary /usr/local/bin/gpg
You can also add other options using
GnuPGOptions
, depending on the specific GnuPG
installation. This is usually not necessary. For security reasons, both settings are
deactivated by default.
UpdateAction
Setting the type of update actions:
Using this option you can specify how you want to handle other software modules
(
mailgate
or
webgate
): disregard them completely, only search for updates or download a
new version, if available. Additional modules are not automatically replaced. In this way
you can always perform a local test of the network services before installing new versions.
For the scan engine and VDF database, the updates are always installed and you can not
deactivate them. The keywords for these actions are
none
,
check
or
fetch
. By default,
the program only performs scanner updates and it does not check for new versions of
other modules:
UpdateAction mailgate none
UpdateAction webgate none
UpdateStoreDir
Storage path for available module updates:
If an update is available for an additional software module and the
UpdateAction
is
set to
fetch
(to download the new version on the local storage), the corresponding file is
stored in the directory specified with
UpdateStoreDir
. The default path is a
subdirectory in the installation directory:
UpdateStoreDir /usr/lib/AntiVir/updcomp
If you activate the backup function of the Internet Updater, you
should check this directory regularly and manually delete old versions
as the size increases.
