RE: [Declude.Virus] AVG Update

2008-12-29 Thread Colbeck, Andrew 
That's very good news, David.
 
I suggest an entry on the Declude.com website, either public or in the
members' account area, that shows the current datestamp for when an
update was made available on the Declude.com webserver, and if relevant,
the update number that AVG gets it.
 
In this way, those who are out of date can see directly how far out of
date they are, and whether the problem is on their end, such as the
maintenance agreement being out of date.
 
The update number would only be of interest to users of other AVG
software, and who are perhaps used to going to the AVG website.
 
In that area of the website would also be a link to a support article
which describes the update cycle (from the point of view of a person
maintaining their Declude installation) and the entry in the declude.cfg
file.
 
 
Andrew.

I have tracked the issue. The process used to be automated but from what
I understand  some server changes were made and we are currently running
in manual mode, hence the reason for some delays over the holidays. I
will have this resolved and on an automated procedure with failover
checking asap. (I will have to plan this but for now I am thinking no
later than end of  January). Although we have many "to do's" on our list
this is a high priority. If there are any suggestions around this
procedure - post them to the list , I cannot promise on suggestions but
there may be something we can do.

RE: [Declude.Virus] AVG update

2008-12-29 Thread Andy Schmidt 
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.

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.
