Try this:

First obtain Internet proxy settings from your ISP

Open Internet Explorer.
Click the Tools menu
Click Internet options,Connection tab, LAN Settings button
Enable Proxy Server by putting a tick in the box
Enter the IP address and Port numbers that your ISP gave you.
Click Advanced and put a tick in the box to " Use Same proxy server for all protocols"

Now clear (delete) the port number for the " HTTP" server... usually 80 leaving this blank.

You should then be able to FTP.

Is this to enable Anti Virus live updates without browsing?

Hope it works for you
