Alternatives to ESET Micro Updates
Apart from using ESET Micro Updates to receive module updates, the following alternatives are available:
ESET Bridge (recommended)
Useful when internet connection is available and there are a lot of endpoints with ESET installed in the network.
ESET Bridge (replacing Apache HTTP Proxy, as a component of ESET PROTECT) downloads and caches:
- Detection engine updates
- Activation tasks - communication with activation servers and caching of license requests
- ESET PROTECT repository data
- Product component updates
Cached data is distributed to endpoint clients on your network. Caching can significantly decrease internet traffic on your network.
Mirror Tool
The Mirror Tool is necessary for offline detection engine updates but initial download takes more than 1 GB.

When to start using Mirror Tool? Suppose you have an offline environment, meaning the computers in your network do not connect to the internet for a prolonged period (months, a year). In that case, the Mirror Tool is the only way to distribute product module updates because it downloads all available Level and Nano updates after each new update request if there is a new update available. |
To set up an update mirror using Mirror Tool and configure clients in your network to distribute the update across your network, follow the instructions in our Knowledgebase and Online Help articles:
