Modules and Operating Mode of AntiVir Server/ Professional

The AntiVir Server/ Professional security software consists of the following program 
components:

•

AntiVir Engine

•

AntiVir  Guard

•

AntiVir Command Line Scanner

•

Avira  Updater

AntiVir Engine essentially represents the scanning and repairing modules of Avira 
software. These are also used by the other AntiVir products.

AntiVir Guard runs as a daemon process. It permanently monitors all user access in the 
network (on access) and it protects the files against viruses and unwanted programs. It 
immediately blocks access to infected files which can be automatically renamed, repaired 
or moved.

AntiVir CLS can always be launched from the command prompt (on-demand). Infected 
files and suspicious macros can be isolated, cleaned or deleted using a number of options. 
It can be integrated and used within scripts.

Avira Updater downloads current updates from the AntiVir web servers and installs them 
at regular intervals, manually or automatically. It can also send update notifications by 
email. You can update Avira AntiVir Server entirely or only certain components: 
signatures, engine, scanner.
