Failed to update antivirus on a restricted users

Guest

Hi all...

I 've got a bunch of PC in my office and made it a LAN. I made my own PC as server for anykind including proxy server. On my Windows XP Profesional client computers, I'd installed an antivirus. for updating the antivirus, I made my proxy server allowing some URL addresses that needed by the antivirus program to update itself.
The problem is , I made my users as restricted users, and somehow the antivirus won't update itself ( even with manual update did by the users ).
The reason why I made my users as restricted users...I believe you understand why... :-
So, is there any way to make my the antivirus program updating without changing the users account ???

More informations :
- the antivirus program is updating if the user has at least Power User previleges
- I'm using antivirus program from Trend Micro

Thank

Greetings:

Try giving power user level permissions to the limited users group in
the antivirus updater.exe properties\security (Program Files\antivirus
folder\updater.exe) change permissions only in the antivirus updater and
test with a limited user login to find if update is successfull.. if not,
change permissions in the antivirus security, and if necessary work your way
up to the antivirus folder.
Once permissions are granted protect the antivirus with a password to
prevent tampering. (If there's no security tab present, disable simple file
sharing in Control Panel\Folder Options\View\simple file sharing [in a NTFS
file system])

Hope this helps.
