Internet Connection Settings
If you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet, it will be necessary to specify the proxy server settings so that AVG Anti-Spyware can access the Internet for updates. If you do not use a proxy server connection please do not modify these settings!
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and outer networks. If you are unsure about your proxy server settings, please contact your network administrator or Internet provider.
Click on the main menu icon Update to view the Update dialog. Proxy server settings are specified in the Settings section on the right-hand side of the dialog. Select the checkbox Use proxy to enable further settings to be configurable. The following settings will then be available:
- Type: Select the type of connection HTTP/Socks4 for the proxy server.
- Host: Enter the hostname for the connection.
- Port: Enter the port number for the connection.
- Authenticate on proxy: (only available for HTTP type of connections). If authentication is required for the proxy server, select this checkbox, and then enter the required username and password.
