o

IP addresses   If you selected the option of searching the network in the range defined by IP 

addresses, you need to specify the range by entering the IP addresses here. 

Note: 

When launched for the first time, AVG S Tool will try to fill in the IP addresses according the 

network configuration set on the station where the AVG S Tool application is running. 

However, if you know the exact IP address range of network stations, adjust the values 

manually to shorten the time needed for searching the network.

AVG Agent settings   This group is intended to set up some parameters of the AVG Agent 

service. This service is installed on the remote stations and supports AVG Anti Virus remote 

installation and other AVG Anti Virus utility operations. 

All changes will make an impact on the remote stations only after (re)installation of the AVG 

Agent service on them. Therefore it is necessary to reinstall AVG Agent service on the stations 

after changing some of the settings here. You can do this by checking on the Always install 

option on the Network tab. This holds also for the AvgAgent password item on the 

Network tab! 

Attention: 

Automatic AVG Agent service installation is available only for the Windows NT4/2000/2003/XP 

Professional operating systems. On the Windows 95/98/Me/XP Home stations you have to 

firstly install AvgAgent manually or by login script. Reinstallation of AVG Agent service on the 

stations, which are running the service already, can be performed remotely using AVG S Tool. 

Enable AVG Agent log   switched off by default. Once you have switched this item 

on, the AVG Agent service generates a log file on stations with a newly installed AVG 

Agent service. For usual AVG Agent running, there is no need to create the log files.  

Log level   you can specify the logging files detail level here: 

Errors only   only application's run related errors are logged   such as 

unauthorized connection attempts, network timeouts and so on. 

Detailed   information on the operations requested and performed by the service 

on a station. 

Debug   very detailed records covering the program diagnostics. After selecting 

this level, the log files will be very large. 

Log file name   fill in the name of the log file. AVG Agent service will store the log files 

under the selected name on remote stations, where the service should be installed. If 

you do not enter the absolute path (e.g. C:\avgagent.log), the directory containing the 

AvgAgent.exe file (typically the C:\Windows or C:\WinNT directory) will be used for 

storing the log file.  

Note: 

Log files are not deleted or decreased automatically! If you use them, you have to analyze 

them and then delete manually. 

Port   TCP/IP communication port, where the AVG Agent service listens for the AVG 

S Tool connection. The default value is 6150 and usually there is no need to change 

this. 

Timeout   the AVG Agent and AVG S Tool communication timeout value in 

milliseconds. When there is no response within the specified value in the AVG Agent 

and AVG S Tool communication process, the connection is terminated with an error. If 

you have a very busy network or the stations with AVG Anti Virus installed are very 

slow, you can increase this timeout value to prevent connection timeout errors.
