The effectiveness of antivirus software depends entirely on the scanning engine and the 
virus definitions being up to date. For this reason, you should regularly download 
updates for Avira SharePoint from our download servers. To enable regular updates to be 
carried out, the AntiVir SharePoint Updater component is integrated in AntiVir 
SharePoint. The component updates the following program components: 
– 
Virus definition file 
– 
Scanning engine 
In AntiVir Administration under Configure Update you can set up the update orders 
which are started by the Avira AntiVir planner service and which are executed by the 
update component. With every update order, the status of the virus definition files and 
the scanning engine is checked and updated if necessary. You can activate an update 
manually in AntiVir Administration under Overview :: 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 webserver of Avira GmbH. The following update 
webservers are available: 
http://professional.avira-update.com/update 
http://professional.avira-update.net/update 
http://62.146.210.32/update 
  
– 
via a webserver or fileserver in the Intranet, which downloads the update files 
from the Internet and supplies them to other systems 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 is kept up to date on the computer 
systems to be protected in a resource-saving way.  
When a webserver is used, the HTTP protocol is used for the download. When using a 
fileserver, access to the update file is provided via the network. You can the update to 
AntiVir Administration under the update configuration. 
Note 
You can use AntiVir Internet Update Manager (fileserver or webserver in Windows) as a 
webserver or fileserver in the  intranet. This program mirrors the download servers of 
AntiVir products (including AntiVirShare Point) and is available on the Internet at 
http://www.avira.com.
