|
|
Update 7/1/2005 ** This doesn't work** At system startup the inetupd.exe is launched and it will check if there is an update but it will not start downloading it. I do not know why.**
I recently changed a computer from AVG free to AntiVir free. It is on a always on cable internet connection.
Unfortunatly, I found that AntiVir does not do automatic updates. Unless, AntiVir Scheduler is turned on (which is a seperate program). Which then runs continuesly in the background.
My solution was to paste a shortcut to INETUPD.EXE to the: Start > All Programs > Startup folder.
This way every time the computer is turned on it checks for updates to AntiVir.
*edit- can you see my attached screen shot? Because I cannot. It works fine in the test forum though:  /t126382-attachments_wont_work_for_me.html[/url]

Well bpm3k, that is a good option for users with an ethernet connection who are always 'on', particularly if they are in a part of the world with a favourable time zone - so they will be starting their computer out of the 'peak' period in Europe when pressure is greatest on the servers.
Personally, I have to 'dial' up my USB connection and prefer to have a bit of flexibility as to when I update, to avoid the busy period, so for me manual is best. But others may care to give your suggestion a try and see how it goes.
It is certainly a smart idea, thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi,
I have also a suggestion to get autupdates at startups.
A little Script from User Solve93 (AntiVir Support Forum) - the Update starts 30 second after windows start:
| Code: |
' INETUPD.VBS - Robert am 20.06.2004
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
' Standardobjekte global anlegen
Dim wshShell, objShell, objFSO
Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
wshShell.CurrentDirectory = wshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\H+BEDV\AVWIN/NT\AVWPath")
if DateDiff("d", Now, Pruefen("logfiles\INETUPD.LOG")) then Ausfuehren("INETUPD.EXE")
function Pruefen(Datei)
On Error Resume Next
If objFSO.FileExists(Datei) Then
Pruefen = objFSO.GetFile(Aktuell).DateLastAccessed
else
Abbruch("Datei '" & Datei & "' nicht vorhanden")
end if
end function
function Ausfuehren(Datei)
On Error Resume Next
Pruefen(Datei)
wScript.Sleep(30 * 1000)
wshShell.exec(Datei)
end function
function Abbruch(Problem)
On Error Resume Next
wScript.Quit(wshShell.popup(Problem, 0, "AntiVir", 0 + 16))
end function
''' end of code '''

Correct me if the translation was so wrong. Only so I learn.
