UPDATING THE APPLICATION

You will need an Internet connection to update Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus installation package includes the databases, which contain threat signatures. At the moment

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed these databases may be obsolete, since Kaspersky Lab updates both the databases

and application modules on a regular basis.

When Application Configuration Wizard is active, you can select the update startup mode (see section "Step 3.

Configuring application update" on page 28). By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus automatically checks for updates on

Kaspersky Lab's update servers. If the server contains a fresh set of updates, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will download and

install them in the silent mode.

If the databases, included in the installation package, are outdated, the update package can be large and it can cause the

additional internet traffic (up to several tens of Mb).

To keep your computer's protection up to date, you are advised to update Kaspersky Anti-Virus immediately after the

installation.

To update Kaspersky Anti-Virus by yourself, please do the following:

1. Open the main application window.

2. Select the My Update Center section in the left part of the window.

3. Click the Start update button.
