Add an option to manually update the virus definition file!

install the antivirus plus and you can do a manual update :)

Hi,

thanks for your reply!

I already tried that. The problem is that the manual update only triggers the "normal" update!
And, as it doesn't have an internet connection. It can not make an update! :-(

Any other idea?

Cheers

If you have SSH, poke around at the avdu command, maybe something in there. viewtopic.php?p=395193#p395193

virus definitions are in:

/opt/ctch/share

The best solution is of we can get netgear/av vendor to add option to allow access through proxy servers. This might be as simple as dropping a .avdu_proxy, or ctscan_proxy config (my choice of names - for example only!) file some place under the /opt/ctch directory.

Best thing for people with similar problems is to submit support ticket to netgear asking that they provide supported solution.

A quick solution might be for Netgear/av vendor to create an new app that can be installed which performs the download function -- only for machines behind proxies.

http_proxy=http://username:password@host:port/
export http_proxy

wouldn't it be enough ? cf http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575

// C# test for middle server downloading the definitions to a NAS. Have not put error logic in. This is just a test in console. MS VS 2012 on Windows 7.
// I have not built anything to install the new definitions into the NAS for use. Again this is just a test of the front end download. Remember that just because it works today does not mean it will work in the future.
// Should really be directed by readyNAS team.
// We have other vendors that have built what they call a broker html that can be run on a middle device that can download and pass to their devices, very similar to offline loading of apps.
// This request has been submitted to have us offline users have the benefit of antivirus updates.
