Introduction

ESET Micro Updates is intended for customers managing ESET products in closed networks without an internet connection or with limited internet connection.

ESET client workstations check for updates hourly by default. ESET Micro Updates allow users to manually download and distribute updates across the whole network. The client workstations can obtain these updates over the internet directly from ESET’s update servers or from a local update source managed within the network.

ESET Micro Updates is suitable for industries with limited internet access (satellite, radio) and those with strict update policies. In such environments, it is important to keep security updates, and detection engine with the newest algorithms up-to-date while balancing the cost and availability of an internet connection.

Limited modules availability

To save bandwidth ESET Micro Updates does not provide updates for all modules, only detection engine (em000 – em005; loader, perseus, engine, archives, heuristics, cleaner). It does not contain updates for other modules to save bandwidth. This means incomplete protection and may cause security warnings from ESET products.
