6 Update Configuration
In order to keep your AntiVir installation up-to-date you can configure two different
modes of updates during the installation:
Scanner update (only Scanner & Engine & VDF)
Product update (Guard program files)
You find the settings for the updates in the following file after the installation:
/etc/cron.d/avira_updater:
00 */2 * * * root /usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdate --product=Scanner
15 12 * * Tü root /usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdate --product=Guard
6.1 Reasonable values for an update
Depending on the target group we recommend our customers to proceed an update
at least 2 or 3 times a day.
6.2 Large Enterprises
Example: hourly update
/etc/cron.d/avira_updater:
* */1 * * * root /usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdate --product=Scanner
6.3 Small Business
Example: 3 hour interval
