Protection Modules > AMON > Setup > Security tab
> Enable automatic startup of AMON.
• AMON / Settings / Enabled
AMON – the resident shield will watch over the ma-
nipulation of les (YES), or will be running only in the
background and will not watch over the manipulation
(NO).
• IMON / Settings / Register IMON to the system
We recommend setting this option to YES, if it is
a workstation, and to NO, if NOD32 for Windows will
be installed on a server, or a PC, where some other
services are running.
These settings can be changed also in the menu
NOD32 Control Center > Threat Protection Modules >
IMON > Quit.
• IMON / Settings / Enabled
IMON – the Internet monitor – will control commu-
nication (YES), or will be running only in the backg-
round and will not watch over the communication
(NO).
• Update / Prole / Settings / Update server
This option sets a path to the server, which will be ser-
ving as an update server. By default it is set to AUTO-
SELECT - NOD32 automatically chooses one of the Eset
company update servers.
• Update / Prole / Settings / Username and Password
Username and password are authorization data to the
above mentioned server. In case NOD32 is updated di-
rectly from an Internet update server of the Eset Com-
pany, then enter the username and password you re-
ceived when you purchased the NOD32 license. If you
use your own update server (see chapter about “Mir-
ror”), enter the username and password for this upda-
te server (also described in a separate chapter).
• General /Settings / ThreatSense.Net
This system allows sending of suspicious les (that
were identied by heuristic analysis as probably be-
ing infected by an unknown virus) from client to our
virus lab. We recommend considering this feature,
especially the option that decides whether the suspi-
cious les will be sent automatically, after user’s con-
sent or not at all..
Proles – Scheduler/Planner
NOD32 for Windows allows dening “groups” of set-
tings – proles – in certain parts of the program, espe-
cially in update proles and scanning proles. You may,
for example, want to have one prole p roviding updates
from a local server and another one, providing updates di-
rectly from the Internet. The same applies to the scanning
proles – one prole would test local disks without scan-
ning of archives, and another would scan network drives
including archives.
The proles are interconnected with scheduled tasks
(NOD32 Control Center / NOD32 System Tools / Schedu-
ler/Planner). For example, after standard installation of
NOD32 for Windows, a prole is created called My Pro-
le, which as one of its tasks sets automatic update for
every hour.
Please pay attention when setting compatibility of
the proles and the scheduled tasks, and please also be
careful when dening your own proles – check whether
the proles are really launched automatically.
If there’s no automatic update scheduled, it is shown
in the Setup of Automatic Update tab, as can be seen in
the screenshot.
