14. Updates
14.1.General Information
AVG offers two update levels to select from:
·
Definitions update contains changes necessary for reliable anti-virus, anti-
spam and anti-malware protection. Typically, it does not include any changes
to the code and updates only the definition database. This update should be
applied as soon as it is available.
·
Program update contains various program changes, fixes and
improvements.
When scheduling an update, it is possible to select which priority level should be
downloaded and applied.
You can distinguish between two types of update:
·
On demand update is an immediate AVG update that can be performed any
time the need arises.
·
Scheduled update - within AVG 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.
14.2.Update within the Local Network
AVG stations can perform an update directly from the AVG Technologies web
servers. Also, it is possible to download the update file onto a LAN server, and
configure the AVG stations for local update.
For smaller networks (20-25 stations typically) it is recommended to update
directly from the internet. AVG update files are designed so that always the
smallest available required files are downloaded.
If the network consists of more than 50 stations, it is better to maintain mirroring
of all the available update files within the local network. All the update files (that
could be used for all the previous AVG versions update) must be downloaded this
way to allow AVG stations to use the current file to perform the program/virus
