Post subject:  SKB 4923: Shavlik Data Files for version 5.9 through 6.x

NOTE: The below information is specific to Shavlik NetChk Protect versions 5.9 through 6.x
The Shavlik NetChk console will automatically look for newer versions of certain Shavlik data and executable files each time that a scan is initiated. If a newer XML data file or executable is available on the Shavlik website, it will be automatically downloaded and placed into production on your NetChk console.

(this assumes that the console has Internet connectivity and as not been placed in the 'run disconnected' mode)

You may force a refresh (re-download) of all Shavlik XML data files and engines by clicking 'Tools-Refresh Files' from the menu bar in the Shavlik console. Note: this may take a few minutes as it will re-download all files in the \\shavlikdatafiles directory.

Key files that are frequently updated include:

Patch Assessment XML file - hfnetchk6b.xml: http://xml.shavlik.com/data/hfnetchk6b.cab

Patch Deployment XML file - pd5.xml: http://xml.shavlik.com/data/pd5.cab

Spyware XML file - spyware.xml: http://xml.shavlik.com/data/56/protect/spyware.cab

(the CAB files are compressed, digitally signed packages that contain the underlying exe or XML files. A CAB file can be opened much like a ZIP file)

For a complete list of all files that are automatically updated and downloaded, please see the appropriate versioned URL below:
http://xml.shavlik.com/data/59/versions/hfversions.xml
http://xml.shavlik.com/data/60/versions/hfversions.xml
http://xml.shavlik.com/data/61/versions/hfversions.xml
http://xml.shavlik.com/data/65/versions/hfversions.xml
http://xml.shavlik.com/data/651/versions/hfversions.xml
http://xml.shavlik.com/data/652/versions/hfversions.xml
http://xml.shavlik.com/data/653/versions/hfversions.xml

NetChk Protect 7.X data files: http://forum.shavlik.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=15656

The above information is posted for informational purposes. Shavlik does not support use of hfversions.xml file outside of the Shavlik initiated process, nor does Shavlik recommend downloading the individual XML or engine files outside of the console process.
