RE: Antivirus on intranet network

["Lauren Ward" <LWard () mcw com au>]

Hi Steven,

We use eTrust from CA and you can certainly do this.  On one of your internet connected machines you can set it for 
auto download and to then re-distribute to the other connected machines (saves on internet bandwidth).  The files are 
stored on the first machine as self-extracting archives, simply copy them to a USB stick and move them into a similar 
config on your 'offline' machines (i.e. Distribution server with configured auto downloads on the other machines).  The 
only thing you have to remember is to do the physical transfer.  

If you have laptops travelling between the two networks on a regular basis you could set up a distribution tree so the 
laptop/s connects to the first distribution server and then when it/they connect to the 'offline' network it/they then 
distribrutes the signatures to the machines on this network.

HTH,

Lauren Ward

Subject: Antivirus on intranet network


hello,
I have a "Working" network who is totally disconnected (physically)
from the Internet.
people do the "search" on the "Internet " computers and then go on the
"work" computers for analyse and the store the data.
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
