AVG for NT Server

AVG for NT Server is designed to protect NT Server systems. It differs from standard AVG by its approach to "on-access" file scanning. Not only does it check a local file access but also remote access, that is request for file access from local stations on the network.

All other functions are almost the same as in "classic" AVG Professional Edition designed for workstation protection. Below you will find descriptions of "basic" features of AVG Anti-Virus which are the same as in AVG Server Edition.

AVG Scanner - It means you will get the program which you can scheduled or run manually, choose which drives and which files will be checked for virus presence. If virus is found you will have several tools to solve the situation - you can heal the infected file (and remove virus infection) or you can store whole infected file in the special directory called AVG Virus Vault.

AVG Resident Protection for NT server - If you selected to install the resident shield you can set it's parameters using AVG Control Center. All settings are the same as on the station, but you can also select to log to file (Event log). If a user tries to access an infected file on the server he/she will be informed the same way as if the file was not accessible because of the access rights. Not only does it check the local file access but also remote access, it requests file access from local stations on the network.

Update abilities - you can download free-of charge Update files, released at monthly basis from GRISOFT websites on Internet. You can arrange the download manually or on the automatic base via AVG Control Center.

Network server protection updating - Updating of the AVG NT server is initiated in the standard fashion, either over the internet or from the communication folder. The difference is that updates on the server are done without restart, whenever possible. Restart is necessary only if the key system files or the resident shield is updated. AVG Service, which installs automatically, compares existing and new files and changes only files that are out of date, even on a full update.

AVG for NT Server extends virus protection onto network servers. It is an important part of the fight against infection. AVG for NT Server is being constantly developed, especially in the direction of remote server access, scheduling without user logon, virus warning over the network, updates etc..
