6.2.3 Changing the Configuration of an Avira Product
The configuration of the products is specific to the tree structure of the Security
Environment. The settings are inherited from the parent node on each level. You
can change the settings for every node, if you deactivate the option Inherit
configuration.
It is recommended to configure the Avira products starting from the root node
Security Environment. All the computers in the group will inherit the settings.
Then you can make changes for certain computers or sub-groups (if you deactivate
the option Inherit configuration): the computer will overwrite the settings
inherited from the root.
During configuration of each Avira product, a product-specific Configuration
dialog window is displayed, where parameters can be set (see Product-specific
Configuration Panels – Page 103).
Example of Configuration window for Avira AntiVir Professional (Windows):
When installing and configuring a software package on a computer in the Security
Environment, a product-specific configuration panel appears. The settings available in
this window are similar to the configuration options available for that Avira product.
For further details on configuration parameters, please refer to the Avira product
documentation.
