By default, the list contains only Kaspersky Lab update servers. When the update is in progress, Kaspersky Anti-Virus

accesses this list, selects the address of the first server, and tries to download updates from this server. If updates cannot

be downloaded from the selected server, the application tries to connect and retrieve the updates from the next server.

You can edit the source list using the button to add a new source and the button to remove a source from the

list. When adding a new source, it is admissible to specify the path to a folder that contains the set of updates, or the

address of an FTP/HTTP site. Kaspersky Anti-Virus adds a new update source to the top of the list and automatically

marks this source as enabled by checking the box next to it.

Click the Edit button to edit a source that you have selected from the list. The only type of sources you cannot edit or

delete are Kaspersky Lab update servers.

If you select a resource outside the LAN as an update source, you should have an Internet connection established to

perform an update.

SELECTING THE UPDATE MODE AND OBJECTS

When configuring Kaspersky Anti-Virus update settings, it is important to define the update mode and objects.

Update objects are the components that will be updated: applications databases, application modules. Databases are

always updated, and the application modules are only updated if the corresponding mode is enabled.

If you want to download and install updates for Kaspersky Anti-Virus modules on your computer when the update is

in progress,

open the application settings window (on page 15), select the Update tab (see figure below), and check the Update

application modules box in the Update section.

Figure 41: Application settings window. Update

If there are currently module updates on the update source, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will download the required updates

and apply them after the computer restarts. The downloaded module updates will not be installed until the computer

restarts.
