1. Introduction
This user manual provides comprehensive documentation for AVG Anti-Virus
Business Edition 2011.
Important notice:
The document may contain references to other user guides, especially the
Internet Security guide. If you are not familiar with the AVG User Interface and
AVG advanced/Firewall settings we strongly recommend that you download all
relevant guides in advance from the http://www.avg.com/ww-en website,
Support Center/Download/Documentation section.
You can also use context help, which is available through the application, to get
the requested information.
1.1. AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 2011 scheme
Please review the simplified scheme of AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 2011
showing the basic connection and interaction of remote administration components in
the default and most common configuration:

A V G A nti-V irus Business E dition 2011 © 2010 C opyright A V G T ec hnologies C Z, s .r.o. A ll rights res erved. 9
1) AVG DataCenter
consists of a database, and AVG Admin Server. The AVG Admin Server
performs the role of a mediator between the AVG DataCenter and AVG stations.
The AVG Admin Console uses the AVG Admin Server to approach the AVG
DataCenter database, and to centrally define settings for stations and system
parameters. AVG stations approach the AVG Admin Server to read the setup
parameters; and to save their currently defined setting and scan results into the
AVG DataCenter.
AVG Admin Server also works as a local update source. If you deploy the
UpdateProxy role to multiple servers, you can then use them for updating
stations and keeping the bandwidth/load in balance.
2) AVG Admin Console
is a program for administration of AVG stations. It communicates directly with
the AVG Admin Server.
3) Stations
communicate with the AVG Admin Server that accepts the default settings,
requests specific settings, sends the scan results etc.
4) AVG Technologies Server
provides AVG Admin Server/Servers with update files.
1.2. Key features and functions
AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 2011 offers the following functions:
·Remote installation
Using this function you can easily install AVG on all stations in the local network.
This remote installation is secured by the AVG Network Installer Wizard – a
program for direct remote installation and/or creation of an installation script
that makes it possible to run the Setup installation program on all remote
network stations.
·Centrally controlled updates
All AVG stations in the network can be updated centrally using the AVG Admin
Console.
·Server roles
AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 2011 can now act in multiple roles, where
each role can be deployed separately (DataCenter role used for remote stations
management, UpdateProxy role for managing updates), which allows the user to
divide the load among multiple physical servers.

·600 MB of free hard drive space
·512 MB of RAM memory
1.6. Network Requirements
To be able to successfully install AVG on stations remotely, it is necessary to take
some steps in advance.
Note: If you experience any problems with the remote administration/installation/
connection even after reviewing the chapters below, please try to find the proper
answer in the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) located at http://www.avg.com/ww-
en/faq.
1.6.1. Ports to be allowed on stations
For individual stations in your network, that use a personal firewall, you will probably
need to allow certain ports and set specific system features in order to be able to
correctly use AVG remote installation.
Depending on the firewall type and settings on each station, some of the requirements
listed below may be already predefined or allowed, or its settings may not be available
under the same name and description. We strongly recommend that all changes should
only be done by well experienced users! Always consult the User manual or Help guide
for your firewall before proceeding to change any settings.
·Ping (ICMP type 0 - Incoming echo request)
Change this setting only if the AVG Network Installer is not able to detect
network station(s), which you are sure are switched on and fully operational.
In the firewall settings used on the remote station allow the incoming ping

A V G A nti-V irus Business E dition 2011 © 2010 C opyright A V G T ec hnologies C Z, s .r.o. A ll rights res erved. 13
requests within the local network. Often this function can be found under ICMP
type 0 or Incoming echo request or similar description. If set correctly, AVG
Network Installer will be able to find the station in the network.
·File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
To allow AVG Network Installer access to a remote station over the Admin$
share, you first need to allow File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Network
on the remote station. Specifically you must allow TCP ports 139 and 445 and
UDP ports 137, 138 and 445. This way the AVG Network Installer can copy
the AVG Agent to the remote station.
As a first step you should check, that the File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks is installed on the remote station.
If you use Windows XP, you can find the settings under Start/Settings/Network
connections. In the properties window of the Network connections, tick the File
and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks. If you cannot see such an item,
then it is probably not installed yet. In this case, please contact your station
administrator or install the component yourself from the installation CD.
For Windows Vista navigate to Control Panel/Network and Sharing Center
and enable the Network sharing.
If you use Windows 7 - navigate to Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/
Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings. Select a profile
applicable for your network (or choose step by step both) and then click the
Turn on file and printer sharing radio button.
If the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is successfully installed,
you need to allow the ports mentioned above in the firewall installed on the
remote station. If for example the built-in Windows XP firewall is used, you can
easily allow this feature by clicking the File and Printer Sharing item located in
the Exceptions tab.
·RPC: Remote Procedure Call
To be able to launch the AVG Agent on the remote station, you need to allow
the following ports in the firewall on the station – TCP and UDP port 135.
·Communication on TCP port number 6150
For correct communication between the AVG Network Installer and the AVG
Agent component you need to first allow communication on TCP port 6150.
Using this port the AVG Network Installer controls the AVG Agent tool and passes
it the AVG installation files.
1.6.2. Ports to be Allowed for Remote Administration
Ports that need to be allowed for remote administration are listed below:
·Communication on TCP port number 80

A V G A nti-V irus Business E dition 2011 © 2010 C opyright A V G T ec hnologies C Z, s .r.o. A ll rights res erved. 14
For downloading AVG updates from the internet to the AVG Admin Server
UpdateProxy, it is necessary to permit outgoing communication for these
components on TCP port 80.
For successful connection between AVG Admin Server and stations, you also
need to allow other ports on your router/firewall/hub/VPN or other type of
relevant connection type, hardware or software:
·TCP Port 4158
For basic communication between the AVG Admin Server and the AVG stations
and the AVG Admin console, you need to allow TCP port 4158 (predefined by
default).
This port can be changed in the AVG Admin Server configuration and in the AVG
User Interface on the station (via upper menu Tools/Advanced Settings
Remote Administration).
·TCP Port 6051
This port is used for direct messages from AVG Admin Server to the AVG Station.
This port can be changed within the AVG User Interface on the station (via
upper menu Tools/Advanced Settings – Remote Administration group).
·TCP Port 6054
This port is used for direct messages from the AVG Admin Server to the AVG
Admin Console. This port is not configurable. AVG Admin Console tries to open
this port automatically for listening, if the port is not available, it tries to open
subsequent ports (6055, 6056, …) until it successfully finds an available one.

2.1. Components Overview
Below you will find a brief overview of all components.
2.1.1. AVG Admin Server Deployment Wizard
This wizard will help you to deploy AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 2011 onto your
server or divide it across multiple servers.
2.1.2. AVG Network Installer
The AVG Network Installer Wizard helps you to automatically install AVG on remote
stations with only a few clicks.
2.1.3. AVG Admin Console

2.1.4. AVG Admin Lite
AVG Admin Lite is the name given to a simplified installation of AVG Anti-Virus
Business Edition 2011, providing only a local update source and script AVG installations
on stations, without the benefits of AVG DataCenter and AVG Admin Console.
2.1.5. AVG Admin Server
The AVG Admin Server stores data in a database (AVG DataCenter) and performs the
role of a mediator between the AVG DataCenter and stations. AVG Admin Server may
also work as a local update source.
The AVG DataCenter is a database that contains the entire configuration for AVG
stations, including scan and tasks settings. All stations with AVG installed, as well as
the AVG Admin Console program, communicate with the AVG DataCenter. The
communication is possible only if the Remote Administration component is properly
installed on all stations connected to the AVG Admin Server.
AVG DataCenter supports one embedded and several standalone (commercial) SQL
database systems. You will be able to choose specific database system during
deployment process (AVG Admin Deployment Wizard starts after installation).
2.1.6. Server roles
There are two roles that can be deployed after installation on AVG Admin Servers. The
selection of roles is a key part of the deployment process that will take place right
after product installation. The roles are as follows:
·DataCenter role
Allows central management of AVG stations configuration via the AVG Admin
Console, collects scan results from AVG stations, shows components states and
much more.
·UpdateProxy role
Serves as a proxy server for downloading and distributing updates to your
stations.
2.2. Where to Install and Deploy
You can install and deploy different components/roles of AVG Remote Administration to
different servers/stations. There is no need to install everything on one machine.
Once you finish product installation, you will proceed to the deployment process that
allows you to deploy different server roles.
For example, the AVG DataCenter role can be deployed to some central server in your
network. If your network or number of stations is large, you can deploy the
ProxyServer role to multiple servers across the network to achieve load balancing and
adequate bandwidth usage.

Also, the AVG Admin Console (central application for administration of your stations)
can be installed to a different station and the administrator can manage the stations
from any place.

Anti-Virus Business Edition 2011 is being installed. You can switch to another language
