The ESET NOD32 Antivirus 2.7 - LAN Update Server version (Mirror) provides you with the ability to maintain a local copy of virus signature and program component updates on your own network. It helps save bandwidth by centralizing the download and distribution of these updates to ESET NOD32 Antivirus 2.7 clients, and also allows you to provide virus signature updates to ESET clients which are not directly connected to the Internet.

This Mirror cannot be used to provide updates to ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 and 4.0 or ESET Smart Security clients.

To configure the LAN Update Server (Mirror), perform the following steps:

1. Open the NOD32 Control Center by clicking the icon in the Windows notification area or by clicking Start →All Programs →Eset → NOD32 Control Center.
   
   
2. Click Update → Mirror and then click Setup in the Mirror window on the right. The Mirror Setup window appears.
