What is AVS (Automatic Version Synchronization)?
Automatic Version Synchronization is a feature of the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK). Automatic Version Synchronization (AVS) runs each time the IEAK administrator runs the IEAK Wizard and checks Microsoft’s Web site for updates to Microsoft Internet Explorer.

These updates are automatically downloaded and can be distributed by the administrator to users throughout the enterprise.
