AVG Anti-Virus Professional 9.0 now features an AVG Download Manager. The small setup file eliminates the need for network administrators to have to download some 100MB every time the AVG antivirus software is updated. Instead, the AVG Download Manager is a small file that locates the most current installation files and downloads them to begin installation.
