What sites does GFI LanGuard connect to for Program Updates and patches?

Answer

GFI LanGuard Server, as well as certain 3rd party products that use the GFI LanGuard agent, download program updates as follows:

  1. The update.exe process connects to http://software.gfi.com/lnsupdate
  2. The above site gives a referral (302 Found response) redirecting it to http://lnsupdate.gfi.com
  3. Update.exe connects to http://lnsupdate.gfi.com and requests update files.
  4. It downloads the wsusscn2.cab file (Microsoft security patches definitions) directly from Microsoft by connecting to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=74689 and gets referred to http://download.windowsupdte.com/microsoftupdate/v6/wsusscn2.cab

GFI LanGuard Server, as well as certain 3rd party products that use the GFI LanGuard agent, download Patches directly from vendor sites.
