Re: Break off update services

I am interested in this, as the one customer of mine with SBS 2003 Premium and AVG does not have any such issues. Further, this is a complex network with two branch offices, all of which use the SBS as the inet gateway and update from the SBS server, not AVG's internet site. So I know that ISA will pass the AVG traffic both ways from the SBS.

Did you purchase and install the SBS specific edition of AVG 8?

Can you reference the relevant AVG notice/advisory?

Can you find any errors in your ISA logs when AVG is installed?

What errors, if any are in the event logs on either the server or the workstation?

What messages appear on screen?

It wasn't the AV client, it was the AVG Administrator Console and related
content.
