Thank you - that is helpful for our understanding. Would it be practical to take the "human element" out of the loop and just have a scheduled script use WGET or similar batch application check for an updated file on their HTTP server every hour? If the returncode indicates a new file, download it and make it available without needing manual intervention?
That's how many of us retrieve signature updates for third party scanners several times daily. -----Original Message----- From: supp...@declude.com [mailto:supp...@declude.com] On Behalf Of David Barker Sent: Monday, December 29, 2008 3:11 PM To: declude.virus@declude.com Subject: [Declude.Virus] AVG update An FYI on the AV process. Declude receives from AVG an email (example below) this is typically once per day. On occasion we may get several per day or one in two days. As soon as this email is received we download the latest definitions to our AVG server and the definitions are available for your Decludeproc to retrieve. Now depending on when this last check was done by your Declude - will determine when you will get the AV sigs or what the time difference is between release and update. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The following virus database update has been prepared for you to download. --- SDK VDB Update Description --- New Viruses: New Trojans: New Virus Variants: New Trojan Variants: Agent.ARGZ, Downloader.Zlob.AIFA, Generic12.AGYE, BackDoor.Hupigon4.AXIM, Agent.ARLN, BackDoor.Generic10.AFRU --- SDK VDB Update Files --- avgsdk_ivdb2422.zip avgsdk_vdb2422.zip --- SDK VDB version.nfo --- VDB_RELEASE_VERSION: 2422 PREVIOUS_VDB_RELEASE_VERSION: 2421 SEVERITY: critical VDB_RELEASE_DATE: 2008-12-28 14:23 MODIFIED: microavi.avg MODIFIED: incavi.avm VDB_FILES_VERSION: 270.10.1/1867 REQUIRED_BIN_RELEASE_VERSION: 1.3.510 --- SDK VDB Update Notification End --- -------------------------------------------------------------------- David Barker VP Operations Declude Your Email security is our business 978.499.2933 office 978.988.1311 fax dbar...@declude.com --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
