Using F-Secure Anti-Virus Proxies
F-Secure Anti-Virus Proxy offers a solution to bandwidth problems in
distributed installations of F-Secure Anti-Virus Linux Server Security by
significantly reducing load on networks with slow connections. When you
use F-Secure Anti-Virus Proxy as an updates source, F-Secure products
can be configured to retrieve virus definition database updates from a
local update repository rather than from the central F-Secure Policy
Manager Server.
Allow fetching
updates from
F-Secure Update
Server
Enable the product to download virus definition
updates from F-Secure Update Server when it
cannot connect to specified update servers.
Launch scan after
updates
Select whether a virus scan should be launched
automatically after the virus definitions have
been updated. The virus scan scans all local
files and directories and it can take a long time.
The scan uses the manual scanning settings. By
default, the scan is not launched automatically.
Reminders
Send reminders If the virus definition databases have not been
updated in a while, the product can be set to
send a reminder. To enable reminders, check
the Send reminders check box and set the
database age in days when reminders are sent.
Database age in days
before reminders are
sent
Specify the age of the virus definition databases
when they are considered old (3-30 days, the
default value is 7 days). An alert is sent as a
reminder when the database is older than the
specified age.

Anti-Virus Proxy, see chapter F-Secure Anti-Virus Proxy in
