Introducing Total Protection Service
Updates to the client software
Updates can occur in three ways. You can implement one method or a combination of methods, which
enables you to control the impact updates have on network resources.
1
For simple updates, each client computer on your account has a direct connection to the Internet
and checks for new updates.
2
Rumor technology enables all computers in a workgroup to share downloaded files, which controls
Internet traffic and minimizes expensive downloads.
3
Internet Independent Updating (IIU) enables any computer on the network to get information from
the update site, even if that computer does not have an Internet connection, by communicating
with the update site through a network computer that is configured as a relay server.
Simple updates through direct connections
Each client computer that has a direct Internet connection can check for updates and download them
from the update site on the Internet. This is the simplest method of retrieving updates.
