The long-time development experience of our experts is demonstrated by the entirely new architecture of the ESET NOD32 Antivirus program, which guarantees maximum detection with minimum system requirements. Antivirus & antispyware This module is built upon the ThreatSense scanning core, which was used for the first time in the awardwinning NOD 32 Antivirus system. The ThreatSense core is optimized and improved with the new ESET NOD32 Antivirus architecture. Feature Improved Cleaning Background Scanning Mode Description The antivirus system now intelligently cleans and deletes most of the detected infiltrations without requiring user intervention. Computer scanning can be launched in the background without slowing down performance. Core optimization processes keep the size of update files smaller than in version 2.7. Also, the protection of update files against damage has been improved. It is now possible to scan incoming mail not only in MS Outlook but also in Outlook Express and Windows Mail. Direct access to file systems for high speed and throughput.

2. Installation

After purchase, the ESET NOD32 Antivirus installer can be downloaded from ESETs website as an.msi package. Launch the installer and the installation wizard will guide you through the basic setup. There are two types of installation available with different levels of setup details: 1. Typical installation 2. Custom installation The next step in the installation is configuration of the ThreatSense. Net Early Warning System. The ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System helps to ensure that ESET is immediately and continuously informed about new infiltrations in order to quickly protect its customers. Thesystem allows for submission of new threats to ESETs virus laboratory, where they are analyzed, processed and added to the virus signature databases.

To configure your proxy server settings, select I use a proxy server and click Next. Enter the IP address or URL of your proxy server in the Address field. In the Port field, specify the port where the proxy server accepts connections (3128 by default). In the event that the proxy server requires authentication, a valid user name and password must be entered, granting access to the proxy server. Proxy server settings can also be copied from Internet Explorer if desired. To do this, click Apply and confirm the selection.
The next step in the installation is to Enter a password to protect program parameters. Choose a password you wish to protect the program with. Retype the password to confirm.
Click Next to proceed to the Configure automatic update settings window. This step allows you to designate how automatic program component updates are to be handled on your system. Click Change. to access the advanced settings. If you do not want program components to be updated, select Never update program components. Enabling the Ask before downloading program components option will display a confirmation window before downloading program components. To enable automatic program component upgrades without prompting, select the option Perform program component upgrade if available. The steps Configuration of the ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System and Detection of potentially unwanted applications are the same as for a Typical installation, and are not shown here (see page 5). The last step shows a window requiring your consent to install. 2.3 Using original settings If you reinstall ESET NOD32 Antivirus, the Use current settings option is displayed. Select this option to transfer setup parameters from theoriginal installation to the new one.
2.4 Entering User name and password For optimal functionality, it is important that the program is automatically updated. This is only possible if the correct user name and password are entered in the update setup.
NOTE: After a program component upgrade, a reboot is usually required. The recommended setting is: If necessary, restart computer without notifying.
If you did not enter your user name and password during the installation, you can do so now. In the main program window, click Update and then click User name and Password Setup. Enter the data you received with your product license into the License details window.
2.5 Ondemand computer scan After installation of ESET NOD32 Antivirus, a computer scan for the presence of malicious code should be performed. To quickly launch a scan, select Computer scan from the main menu and then select Standard scan in the main program window. For more information about the Computer scan feature, see the chapter Computer scan.

4. Work withESET NOD32 Antivirus
4.1 Antivirus and antispyware protection Antivirus protection guards against malicious system attacks by controlling file, email and Internet communication. If a threat with malicious code is detected, the Antivirus module can eliminate it by first blocking it, and then cleaning, deleting or moving it to quarantine. 4.1.1 Realtime file system protection 4.1.1.1.3 Checking of newly created files
The probability of infection in newlycreated files is comparatively higher than in existing files. This is why the program checks these files with additional scanning parameters. Along with common signaturebased scanning methods, advanced heuristics are used, which greatly improves detection rates. In addition to newlycreated files, scanning is also performed on selfextracting files (SFX) andruntime packers (internally compressed executable files). 4.1.1.1.4 Advanced setup
Realtime file system protection controls all antivirusrelated events in the system. All files are scanned for malicious code at the moment they are opened, created or run on the computer. Realtime file system protection is launched at system startup. 4.1.1.1 Control setup
The realtime file system protection checks all types of media, andcontrol is triggered by various events. Control utilizes the ThreatSense technology detection methods (as described in ThreatSense engine parameter setup). The control behavior may vary for newly created files and existing files. For newly created files, it is possible to apply a deeper level of control.
To provide the minimum system footprint when using realtime protection, files which have already been scanned are not scanned repeatedly (unless they have been modified). Files are scanned again immediately after each virus signature database update. This behavior is configured using the Optimized scanning option. If this is disabled, allfiles are scanned each time they are accessed. By default, Realtime protection is launched at operating system startup time and provides uninterrupted scanning. In special cases (e.g.,if there is a conflict with another realtime scanner), the realtime protection can be terminated by disabling the Automatic realtime file system protection startup option. 4.1.1.2 Cleaning levels
The realtime protection has three cleaning levels (to access, click the Setup. button in the Real-time file system protection section and then click the Cleaning branch). The first level displays an alert window with available options for each infiltration found. The user must choose an action for each infiltration individually. This level is designed for more advanced user who know what to do with every type of infiltration. The medium level automatically chooses and performs apredefined action (depending on the type of infiltration). Detection and deletion of an infected file is signaled by an information message located in the bottom right corner of the screen. However, an automatic action is not performed if the infiltration is located within an archive which also contains clean files, and it is not performed on objects for which there is no predefined action. The third level is the most aggressive all infected objects are cleaned. As this level could potentially result in the loss of valid files, we recommended that it be used only in specific situations.

To verify that realtime protection is working and detecting viruses, use a test file from eicar.com. This test file is a special harmless file detectable by all antivirus programs. The file was created by the EICAR company (European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research) to test the functionality of antivirus programs. The file eicar.com is available to download at http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com 4.1.1.5 What to do if the realtime protection does not work
The POP3 protocol is the most widespread protocol used to receive email communication in an email client application. ESET NOD32 Antivirus provides protection of this protocol regardless of the email client used. The module providing this control is automatically initiated at operating system startup time and is then active in memory. For the module to work correctly, please make sure it is enabled POP3 checking is performed automatically with no need for reconfiguration of the email client. By default, all communication on port 110 is scanned, but other communication ports can be added if necessary. Port numbers must be delimited by a comma. Encrypted communication is not controlled.
In the next chapter, we describe problem situations that may arise when using realtime protection, and how to troubleshoot them. Realtime protection is disabled If realtime protection was inadvertently disabled by a user, it needs to be reactivated. To reactivate realtime protection, navigate to Setup > Antivirus and antispyware and click Enable in the Real-time file system protection section of the main program window. If realtime protection is not initiated at system startup, it is probably due to the disabled option Automatic realtime file system protection startup. To enable this option, navigate to Advanced Setup (F5) and click Realtime file system protection in the Advanced Setup tree. In the Advanced setup section at the bottom of the window, make sure that the Automatic realtime file system protection startup check box is selected.

4.1.2.1.1

Compatibility
Realtime protection does not detect and clean infiltrations Make sure that no other antivirus programs are installed on your computer. If two realtime protection shields are enabled at the same time, they may conflict with each other. We recommend that you uninstall any other antivirus programs on your system. Realtime protection does not start If realtime protection is not initiated at system startup (and the Automatic realtime file system protection startup option is enabled), itmay be due to conflicts with other programs. If this is the case, please consult ESETs Customer Care specialists. If Maximum efficiency is enabled, infiltrations are removed from infected messages and information about the infiltration is inserted before the original email subject (the options Delete or Clean must be activated, or Strict or Default cleaning level must be enabled) Medium compatibility modifies the way messages are received. Messages are gradually sent to the email client after the last part of the message is transferred, it will be scanned for infiltrations. However, the risk of infection increases with this level of control. Thelevel of cleaning and the handling of tag messages (notification alerts which are appended to the subject line and body of emails) is identical to the maximum efficiency setting.

Certain email programs may experience problems with POP3 filtering (e.g. if receiving messages with a slow Internet connection, timeouts may occur due to checking). If this is the case, try modifying the way control is performed. Decreasing the control level may improve the speed of the cleaning process. To adjust the control level of POP3 filtering, navigate to Antivirus and antispyware > Email protection > POP3 > Compatibility.
With the Maximum compatibility level, the user is warned by an alert window which reports the receipt of an infected message. No information about infected files is added to the subject line or to the email body of delivered messages and infiltrations are not automatically removed. Deleting infiltrations must be performed by the user from the email client.

4.1.2.2.1

Appending tag messages to email body
Each email controlled by ESET NOD32 Antivirus can be marked by appending a tag message to the subject or email body. This feature increases the level of credibility for the addressee and if an infiltration is detected, it provides valuable information about the threat level of a given email/sender. The options for this functionality are available through Advanced setup > Antivirus and antispyware protection > Email protection. The program can Append tag messages to received and read mail, as well as Append tag messages to sent mail. Users also have the ability to decide whether tag messages should be appended to all email, to infected email only, or not at all. ESET NOD32 Antivirus also allows the user to append messages to the original subject of infected messages. To enable appending to the subject, select the options Append note to the subject of received and read infected email and Append note to the subject of sent infected email. The content of the notifications can be modified in the Template field added to the subject of infected email. The above-mentioned modifications can help to automate the process of filtering infected email, as it allows you to filter email with a specific subject (if supported in your email client) to a separate folder.

4.1.2.2

Integration with Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail

4.1.2.3

Removing infiltrations
Integration of ESET NOD32 Antivirus with email clients increases the level of active protection against malicious code in email messages. If your email client is supported, this integration can be enabled in ESET Smart Security. If integration is activated, the ESET NOD32 Antivirus toolbar is inserted directly into the email client, allowing for more efficient email protection. The integration settings are available through Setup > Enter entire advanced setup tree > Miscellaneous >Email client integration. This dialog window allows you to activate integration with the supported email clients. Email clients which are currently supported include Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail. Email protection is started by the activation of the Enable email protection check box in Advanced Setup (F5) > Antivirus and antispyware > Email protection.

A scan target can also be more precisely specified by entering the path to the folder or file(s) you wish to include in scanning. Select targets from the tree structure listing all devices available on the computer. 4.1.4.3 Scan profiles
The preferred computer scan parameters can be saved to profiles. The advantage of creating scan profiles is that they can be used regularly for scanning in the future. We recommend that you create as many profiles (with various scan targets, scan methods and other parameters) as the user regularly uses.
Custom scan is an optimal solution if you wish to specify scanning parameters such as scan targets and scanning methods. The advantage of Custom scan is the ability to configure the parameters in detail. The configurations can be saved to user-defined scan profiles, which can be useful if scanning is repeatedly performed with the same parameters. To select scan targets, use the dropdown menu of the quick target selection feature or select targets from the tree structure listing all devices available on the computer. Furthermore, you can choose from three cleaning levels by clicking Setup. > Cleaning. If you are only interested in scanning the system with no additional actions performed, select the Scan without cleaning check box. Performing computer scans using the Custom scan mode is suitable for advanced users with previous experience using antivirus programs.
To create a new profile that can be used repeatedly for future scans, navigate to Advanced setup (F5) > Ondemand computer scan. Click the Profiles. button on the right to display the list of existing scan profiles and the option to create a new one. The following ThreatSense engine parameters setup describe each parameter of the scan setup. This will help you create a scan profile to fit your needs. Example: Suppose that you want to create your own scan profile and the configuration assigned to the profile Smart scan is partially suitable. But you dont want to scan runtime packers or potentially unsafe applications and you also want to apply Strict cleaning. From the
Configuration profiles window, click the Add. button. Enter the name of your new profile in the Profile name field, and select Smart scan from the Copy settings from profile: dropdown menu. Then adjust the remaining parameters to meet your requirements. 4.1.5 ThreatSense engine parameters setup
Runtime packers runtime packers (unlike standard archive types) decompress in memory, in addition to standard static packers (UPX,yoda, ASPack, FGS, etc.).
ThreatSense is the name of the technology consisting of complex threat detection methods. This technology is proactive, which means it also provides protection during the early hours of the spread of anew threat. It uses a combination of several methods (code analysis, code emulation, generic signatures, virus signatures) which work in concert to significantly enhance system security. The scanning engine is capable of controlling several data streams simultaneously, maximizing the efficiency and detection rate. ThreatSense technology also successfully eliminates rootkits. The ThreatSense technology setup options allow the user to specify several scan parameters: File types and extensions that are to be scanned The combination of various detection methods Levels of cleaning, etc. To enter the setup window, click the Setup. button located in any modules setup window which uses ThreatSense technology (see below). Different security scenarios could require different configurations. With this in mind, ThreatSense is individually configurable for the following protection modules: Realtime file system protection System startup file check Email protection Web access protection Ondemand computer scan The ThreatSense parameters are highly optimized for each module, and their modification can significantly influence system operation. For example, changing parameters to always scan runtime packers, or enabling advanced heuristics in the realtime file system protection module could result in a system slowdown (normally, only newlycreated files are scanned using these methods). Therefore, we recommend that you leave the default ThreatSense parameters unchanged for all modules except Computer scan. 4.1.5.1 Objects setup 4.1.5.2 Options

For various update configurations, it is possible to create userdefined update profiles which can be used for a given update task. Creating various update profiles is especially useful for mobile users, as the Internet connection properties regularly change. By modifying the update task, mobile users can specify that if it is not possible to update the program using the configuration specified in My Profile, the update will be performed using an alternative profile. The Selected profile drop-down menu displays the currently selected profile. By default, this entry is set to My profile. To create a new profile, click the Profiles. button and then click the Add. button and enter your own Profile name. When creating a new profile, you can copy settings from an existing one by selecting it from the Copy settings from profile: drop-down menu.
NOTE: The User name and Password is provided by ESET after purchase of ESET Smart Security. 4.2.1 Update setup
The update setup section specifies the update source information, such as the update servers and authentication data for these servers. By default, the Update server: field is set to Choose automatically. This value ensures that the update files will automatically be downloaded from the ESET server with the least network traffic load. The update setup options are available from the Advanced Setup (F5) tree, under Update.
Within the profile setup, you can specify the update server to which the program will connect and download updates; any server from the list of available servers can be used, or a new server can be added. The list of existing update servers is accessible via the Update server: dropdown menu. To add a new update server, click Edit inthe Update settings for selected profile section and then click theAdd button.

4.2.1.2

Advanced update setup
Never restart computer Offer computer restart if necessary If necessary, restart computer without notifying The default option for restarting is Offer computer restart if necessary. Selection of the most appropriate options for program component updates within the Update mode tab depends on each individual workstation, since that is where these settings are to be applied. Please be aware that there are differences between workstations and servers e.g. restarting the server automatically after a program upgrade could cause serious damage. 4.2.1.2.2 Proxy server

Select the System account option to use the system account for authentication. Normally, no authentication process takes place if there is no authentication data supplied in the main update setup section. To ensure that the program authorizes itself using a currently loggedin user account, select Current user. The drawback of this solution is that the program is not able to connect to the update server if no user is currently logged in. Select Specified user if you want the program to use a specific user account for authentication. The default option for LAN connection is System account. Warning: When either Current user or Specified user is enabled, an error may occur when changing the identity of the program to the desired user. This is why we recommend inserting the LAN authentication data in the main update setup section. In this update setup section, the authentication data should be entered as follows: domain_name\user (if it is a workgroup, enter workgroup_name\name) and the users password. When updating from the HTTP version of the local server, no authentication is required. 4.2.1.2.4 Creating update copies Mirror
ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition allows the user to create copies of update files which can be used to update other workstations located in the network. Updating client workstations from a Mirror optimizes network load balance and saves Internet connection bandwidth.
of authentication used for accessing the update files. The following options are available: NONE, Basic, and NTLM. Select Basic to use the base64 encoding with basic user name and password authentication. The NTLM option provides encoding using a safe encoding method. Forauthentication, the user created on the workstation sharing the update files is used. The default setting is NONE, which grants access to the update files with no need for authentication. Warning: If you want to allow access to the update files via the HTTP server, the Mirror folder must be located on the same computer as the ESET NOD32 Antivirus instance creating it.
Open ESET NOD32 Antivirus Advanced Setup and click Update Click Edit. next to the Update server and add a new server using the \\UNC\PATH format. Select this newlyadded server from the list of update servers NOTE: For proper functioning, the path to the Mirror folder must be specified as aUNC path. Updates from mapped drives may not work. 4.2.1.2.4.2 Troubleshooting Mirror update problems Depending on the method used to access the Mirror folder, various types of problems may occur. In most cases, problems during an update from a Mirror server are caused by one or more of the following: incorrect specification of the Mirror folder options, incorrect authentication data to the Mirror folder, incorrect configuration on local workstations attempting to download update files from the Mirror, or by a combination of the reasons above. Here we give an overview of the most frequent problems which may occur during an update from the Mirror: ESET NOD32 Antivirus reports an error connecting to Mirror server likely caused by incorrect specification of the update server (network path to the Mirror folder) from which local workstations download updates. To verify the folder, click the Windows Start menu, click Run, insert the folder name and click OK. Thecontents of the folder should be displayed. ESET NOD32 Antivirus requires a user name and password likely caused by incorrect entry of authentication data (User name and Password) in the update section. The User name and Password are used to grant access to the update server, from which the program will update itself. Make sure that the authentication data is correct and entered in the correct format. For example, Domain/User name, or Workgroup/User name, plus the corresponding Passwords. If the Mirror server is accessible to Everyone, please be aware that this does not mean that just any user is granted access. Everyone does not mean any unauthorized user, it just means that that the folder is accessible for all domain users. As a result, if the folder is accessible to Everyone, a domain user name and password will still need to be entered in the update setup section. ESET NOD32 Antivirus reports an error connecting to the Mirror server communication on the port defined for accessing the HTTP version of the Mirror is blocked. 4.2.2 How to create update tasks

After configuration of the Mirror is finished, go to the workstations and add a new update server in the format http://IP_address_of_ your_server:2221. To do this, follow the steps below: Open ESET NOD32 Antivirus Advanced Setup and click the Update branch. Click Edit to the right of the Update server drop-down menu and add a new server using the following format: http://IP_ address_of_your_server:2221 Select this newlyadded server from the list of update servers. Accessing the Mirror via system shares First, a shared folder should be created on a local or a network device. When creating the folder for the Mirror, it is necessary to provide write access for the user who will save update files to the folder and read access for all users who will update ESET NOD32 Antivirus from the Mirror folder. Next, configure access to the Mirror in the Advanced update setup section (the Mirror tab) by disabling the Provide update files via internal HTTP server option. This option is enabled by default in the program install package. If the shared folder is located on another computer in the network, you must specify authentication data in order to access the other computer. In order to specify authentication data, open ESET NOD32 Antivirus Advanced Setup (F5) and click the Update branch. Click the Setup. button and then click the LAN tab. This setting is the same as for updating, as described in the chapter Connecting to LAN. After the Mirror configuration is complete, proceed to theworkstations and set \\UNC\PATH as the update server. Thisoperation can be completed using the following steps:
Updates can be triggered manually by clicking Update virus signature database in the information window displayed after clicking Update from the main menu. Updates can also be run as scheduled tasks To configure a scheduled task, click Tools > Scheduler. By default, the following tasks are activated in ESET Smart Security: Regular automatic update Automatic update after dialup connection Automatic update after user logon Each of the aforementioned update tasks can be modified to meet your needs. In addition to the default update tasks, you can create new update tasks with a userdefined configuration. For more details about creating and configuring update tasks, see the chapter Scheduler.
4.3 Scheduler Scheduler is available if the Advanced mode in ESET NOD32 Antivirus is activated. Scheduler can be found in the ESET NOD32 Antivirus main menu under Tools. Scheduler contains a summary list of all scheduled tasks and their configuration properties such as the predefined date, time, and scanning profile used.

Alerts and notifications

The Alerts and notifications setup section under User interface allows you to configure how threat alert messages and system notifications are handled in ESET Smart Security. The first item is Display alerts. Disabling this option will cancel all alert windows and is only suitable for a limited amount of specific situations. For most users, we recommend that this option be left to its default setting (enabled).
To close popup windows automatically after a certain period of time, select the option Close messageboxes automatically after (sec.). If they are not closed manually by the user, alert windows are automatically closed after the specified time period has expired. Notifications on the desktop and balloon tips are informative only, and do not require or offer user interaction. They are displayed in the notification area at the bottom right corner of the screen. To activate displaying desktop notifications, select the Display notifications on desktop option. More detailed options notification display time and window transparency can be modified by clicking the Configure notifications. button. To preview the behavior of notifications, click the Preview button. To configure the duration of the balloon tips display time, see the option Display balloon tips in taskbar (for sec.).
You can decide not to enable the ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System. You wont lose any functionality in the software, and youll still get the best protection that we can offer. You can configure the Early Warning System to submit anonymous information about new threats and where the new threatening code is contained, in a single file. This file can be sent to ESET for detailed analysis. Studying these threats will help ESET update its threat detection capabilities. The ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System will collect information about your computer related to newlydetected threats. This information may include asample or copy of the file in which the threat appeared, the path to that file, the filename, information about the date and time, the process by which the threat appeared on your computer and information about your computers operating system. Some of this information may include personal information about the user of the computer, such as usernames in a directory path, etc. An example of the file information submitted is available here. While there is a chance that this may occasionally disclose some information about you or your computer to our threat lab at ESET, this information will not be used for ANY purpose other than to help us respond immediately to new threats. By default, ESET NOD32 Antivirus is configured to ask before submitting suspicious files for detailed analysis to ESETs threat lab. It should be noted that files with certain extensions such as.doc or.xls are always excluded from sending, should a threat be detected in them. You can also add other extensions if there are particular files that you or your organization wants to avoid sending. The ThreatSense.Net setup is accessible from the Advanced Setup tree, under Tools > ThreatSense.Net. Select the Enable ThreatSense. Net Early Warning System check box. This will allow you to activate and then click the Advanced Setup. button.

In the bottom section of the Alerts and notifications setup window, there is the option Display only notifications requiring user intervention. This option allows you to turn on/off displaying of alerts and notifications that require no user intervention. The last feature of this section is specifying addresses of notifications in a multi-user environment. The On multi-user systems, display notifications on the screen of the user: field allows the user to define who will receive important notifications from ESET Smart Security. Normally this would be a system or network administrator. This option is especially useful for terminal servers, provided that all system notifications are sent to the administrator. 4.7 ThreatSense.Net The ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System is a tool that keeps ESET immediately and continuously informed about new infiltrations. The bidirectional ThreatSense.Net Early Warning System has a single purpose to improve the protection that we can offer you. The best way to ensure that we see new threats as soon as they appear is to link to as many to as many of our customers as possible and use them as our Threat Scouts. There are two options:

Suspicious files

The Suspicious files tab allows you to configure the manner in which threats are submitted to ESETs lab for analysis. If you have found a suspicious file, you can submit it for analysis to our virus labs. If it turns out to be a malicious application, its detection will be added to the next virus signature update. Submission of files can be set to be performed automatically without asking. If this option is selected, suspicious files are sent in the background. If you wish to know which files have been sent for analysis and confirm the submission, select the Ask before submitting option.
When to submit In the When to submit section, you can define when the statistical info will be submitted. If you choose to submit As soon as possible statistical information will be sent immediately after it is created. This setting is suitable if a permanent Internet connection is available. If During update is selected, statistical information will be kept and submitted collectively during the next update.

5. Advanced user

This chapter describes features of ESET NOD32 Antivirus which may come in handy for more advanced users. Setup options for these features are accessible only in Advanced mode. To switch to Advanced mode, click Toggle Advanced mode in the bottom left corner of the main program window or press CTRL + M on your keyboard. 5.1 Proxy server setup
In ESET Smart Security, proxy server setup is available in two different sections within the Advanced Setup tree structure. First, proxy server settings can be configured under Miscellaneous > Proxy server. Specifying the proxy server at this level defines global proxy server settings for all of ESET Smart Security. Parameters here will be used by all modules requiring connection to the Internet. To specify proxy server settings for this level, select the Use proxy server check box and then enter the address of the proxy server into the Proxy server: field, along with the Port number of the proxy server.
5.2 Export / import settings Export and import of the current configuration of ESET NOD32 Antivirus is available in Advanced mode under Setup. Both export and import utilize the.xml file type. Export and import are useful if you need to back up the current configuration of ESET NOD32 Antivirus in order to be able to use it later (for whatever reason). The export settings option will also be appreciated by those who want to use their favorite configuration of ESET NOD32 Antivirus on multiple systems - they just need to import their.xml file.
If communication with the proxy server requires authentication, select the Proxy server requires authentication check box and enter a valid User name and Password into the respective fields. Click the Detect proxy server button to automatically detect and insert proxy server settings. The parameters specified in Internet Explorer will be copied. Please note that this feature does not retrieve authentication data (User name and Password), they must be supplied by the user. Proxy server settings can also be established within the Advanced update setup (Update branch of the Advanced Setup tree). This setting applies for the given update profile and is recommended for laptops, as they often receive virus signature updates from different locations. For more information about this setting, see Section 4.4, Updating the system. 5.2.1 Export settings
