    Patent number: 6966059
    Abstract: A system and method for providing automated low bandwidth updates of computer anti-virus application components is described. Components of one or more deployed computer anti-virus applications requiring updating are periodically identified. Each updated computer anti-virus application component is pulled from a component repository on a centralized component server by a replicator. Each out-of-date computer anti-virus application component is updated. The one or more updated computer anti-virus application components for the computer anti-virus applications are pushed to superagents. The updated computer anti-virus application components to the deployed computer anti-virus applications are multicast to agents.
