[dba-Tech] Security measures

Not really

All pc update from the server and only the server get the update over
the internet.
He only checks a number in an ini file on an ftp server.
Even in the case you would have the pc go to the internet it will be
cached by the proxy server....

It does not generate much of traffice.

And by the way, I dont have any other choice in McAfee, its once a day
or once an hour...

I did forget to mention spybot and Mailwasher in my list of security 
that I setup...

but every hour seems more than excessive for updates, I mean don't get 
me wrong... I'm probably just as paranoid as the next guy but by setting

up everyone of your customers to Once an hour you're effectively setting

up your customers to DDOS attack. hmmm probably not a good idea... I 
know that any of the antivirus companies probably have a safeguard for 
such things but I'm just saying that it seems a bit excessive.. my AV 
for sure updates once a day sometimes twice... but does not try to 
update every hour...
