Here is the actaul definition and explanation of the ivas PUSH update process:
PUSH updates (Professional Edition only):
A special feature of the Professional Edition are PUSH updates. It is a dramatic change in the philosophy of updates. Usually, every installed program checks every now and then whether a new version is available. PUSH updates, however, are initialized by our server; they result in your computer quickly responding and performing the necessary update. The system is based on the SMTP protocol, i.e. on usual e-mail messages. The updates itself are controlled by the avast! resident e-mail providers (MS Outlook and Internet Mail).
The whole system if protected by asymmetric ciphers and is resistant to unauthorized misuse.
As has been explained here, in order of the PUSH to work effectively, it uses email, hence, a proper and complete email list must be compiled.
I have no idea when this will be accomplished, but be assured that it will be done!
"Implemented....Configured......Practical.....Is used....Was used.....Emergency situation.......Bah!!!!
ITS' NOT OPERATIONAL.........YET!
This feature breaks ground in the anti-virus update arena therefor, it will be operational as soon as practical.
(There I go with the legal lingo again.
Be patient. All good things come to those that wait.
Techie's words of wisdom.
