Network tab 

The Network tab offers the option of searching the local network for AVG Anti Virus installations 

on workstations. If there are workstations without AVG Anti Virus installed, the AVG S Tool will 

install AVG Anti Virus on them. All operations are performed remotely via network communication 

and using the AVG Agent service that is installed automatically on every single network station.  

Warning: 

AVG Anti Virus remote installation can be performed only on stations with the OS Windows 

NT4/2000/2003/XP Professional installed. Also, you have to be logged in as an administrator. On 

workstations running the OS Windows 95/98/Me and Win XP Home the AVG Anti Virus installation 

must be done manually, or using the login script and the AVG Agent service (for details please 

refer to chapter 

4. AVG Anti Virus Installation on Client Workstations

). 

On the station where you launch AVG Anti Virus installation from, as well as on all workstations to 

which you want to install AVG Anti Virus, the option of Microsoft Network Files and Printers 

Sharing must be enabled. You can enable this option in the Network Connection properties control 

panel. If the sharing option is disabled, you have to install the AVG Agent manually even on 

stations running the OS Windows NT4/2000/2003/XP Professional, or you can use the login script.
