Product feature questions

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi,

I have two questions:

  1. I have numerous computers. Some are not connected to the internet, and some are. I would like the ones that aren’t on the net to be virus-protected because I do use downloaded files on them (that I copy over via USB key). How can I update the Avast antivirus database on these computers? Can I download the update to a USB key and copy it over to them like with AVG?

  2. I would like Avast to auto-scan media that are inserted into the computer. E.g., if someone sticks a USB key in, or a CD, I want it to automatically scan those media. Is this possible?

Many thanks.

  1. You can manually download the VPS files from here and save it to a USB.

You can view the update history here http://www.avast.com/virus-update-history but I don’t know if this is real-time or not. Or you could check the virus definition current version on one of the computers that is connected.

  1. Avast does this. There is a setting in fileshield “Scan when attaching”. Please see attachment. The fileshield will also scan the external storage anytime anything is executed, opened, or written.
