Updates
The effectiveness of anti-virus software depends entirely on the status of the scanning
engine and virus definitions. For this reason, regularly download updates for Avira
AntiVir SharePoint from our download servers. To carry out regular updates, the
AVSharePoint Updater service is integrated in AntiVir Server. The update service
updates the following program components:
•
Virus definition file
•
Scanning engine
On the AntiVir Administration under the update configuration, create update jobs that
are carried out at the pre-defined intervals by the Update service. For every update job,
the virus definition file and the scanning engine are checked for their status and updated
if necessary. You can start an update manually on AntiVir Administration under
Status
:: Last update
. After an update, AntiVir SharePoint does not have to be restarted.
You can obtain updates via the following servers:
•
directly from the Internet via a web server of Avira GmbH. The following update web
servers are available:
http://dl1.pro.antivir.de/upd
http://dl2.pro.antivir.de/upd
http://dl3.pro.antivir.de/upd
http://dl1.antivir.net/upd
http://dl2.antivir.net/upd
http://dl3.antivir.net/upd
•
via a web server or fileserver in the Intranet, which downloads the update files from
the Internet and supplies them to other computers in the network. This is useful if
you want to update AntiVir SharePoint on more than one computer in a network.
This ensures that AntiVir SharePoint on the computer systems to be protected is up
to date in a resource-saving way.
If a web server is used, the download is carried out via HTTP protocol. If a file server is
used, the update files are accessed via the network. Configure the update on the AntiVir
Administration under the update configuration.
You can use AntiVir Internet Update Manager (file- or web server under
Windows) or AntiVir Mirror Script (fileserver under Linux) as web- or
fileservers in the Intranet. These programs mirror download servers of
AntiVir products (e.g. AntiVir SharePoint) and are available in the Internet
at http://www.avira.com. However, you can also update AntiVir
SharePoint on the computer systems to be protected in the network by
cascading via a central fileserver.
