Sparks Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just networked my two computers and I have AVG (free) installed on the host machine, Is it ok to install AVG on the client and will it be able to receive it's own updates?, bearing in mind they both have the same email address.

mark2 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I think the licence says not, but who's going to tell ?On the other hand why not a different AV such as avast on the second PC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I think the licence says not, but who's going to tell ?On the other hand why not a different AV such as avast on the second PC ?Agree but I was wondering if two different AVs would conflict being as files and folders were shared. I'm off out now and will follow this up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your anti-virus will only scan local drives, unless you specify otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Yes, you should be fine. Just make sure not to tell it to scan shared network drives and it will only scan local drives and receive its own updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
