Endpoint Protection

Hello,

Is someone can explain with LUA is downloading so much files for a "simple" AV definitions ?

I understand, there's an incremential update to manage, but if I look (for example) at SAV10 (yes we have SAV8.x SAV9.x SAV10.x and SEP11 clients in our network):

There is something like 14 files * 80mo for just one revision for a simple antivirus (SAV10 here) ?

Other definitions are managed in the same way (including SEP11).

Purge is activated on our LUA...And today, look at this screenshot, we've 14go of data on distrib centers...!!??

Maybe is there an issue on LUA 2.2.2.9 ?

Thank you

are you trying to download both 32 and 64 bit defs?

did you recently clear any definitions from download folders, that might have made it to download all the contents available...

Hi Ouhlala,

> (yes we have SAV8.x SAV9.x SAV10.x and SEP11 clients in our network)

I strongly encourage you to upgrade away from SAV 8 and 9 as soon as possible.  They are no longer supoprted and today's sophisticated threats need greater protection than those old version can provide.

Make sure that you are not downloading anything that you do not need: for instance, no OEM versions or Itanium versions if there are no SAV clients of that sort in your environment.

As Rafeeq said, make sure you are not downloading 64-bit defs if there are no 64-bit clients that need to be updated.

Make sure that you are not downloading SEP or SAV for Macintosh defs if there are none of those....
