Best Know Methods for LANDesk Anti-Virus and Spyware

Antivirus – Core Pattern File Updates
We do not ship with 8.x virus definitions files, so when the core
is upgraded to 9.0, ldlogon\antivirus\bases folder does not
exist. This way the existing LANDesk AV 8.x client can keep the
current virus definitions. If the download option was set to
download from the core then internet, the existing client will try
to contact the core. It connects to the core, but because the
core does not have the bases folder, the download fails, but the
client can keep the existing definition set. (Because it can
connect to the core, it will not try to download from the
internet.) After the core downloads the virus definitions for 8.x,
ldlogon\antivirus\bases folder will be created and the existing
client can update the definitions from the core.
Moral of the story: Update virus definitions immediately after
installation.
