INSTALLING KASPERSKY ANTI-VIRUS
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is installed in interactive mode using the Installation Wizard.
Before beginning the installation, you are advised to close all applications currently running.
To install Kaspersky Anti-Virus on your computer, run the installation file (file with the .exe extension) on the product CD.
Installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus from the installation file downloaded via the Internet, is identical to installing the
application from the CD.

found, a newer version will be searched for on Kaspersky Lab's servers on the Internet. If the installation package file
cannot be found, you will be offered to download it. When the download is complete, Kaspersky Anti-Virus installation will
start. If the download is cancelled, the application installation will proceed in standard mode.
