The Question is: I would need a anti virus on the "work" computers and I should be able to update the virus database daily without connecting any computer to the Internet. Which anti virus should I use and How could I do the update. Thanks for any help. Steven Meyer
Steven i would look at those solutions where you can have a distribution server on the network which is the storage point for the virus signature updates. CA's inoculate does this as i'm sure many others do. I think you need the microsoft client installed to access the file share. In their update queue the clients would update from the redistribution server first. Your only problem then is to find a way of updating that redistribution server regularly. You could also look at zonealarms/checkpoints integrity solution where i believe every workstation must meet the patch levels you set eg virus/others before you can authenticate to the network. Have not seen it in real life but know it exists. good luck Neal
