42 Kaspersky Anti-Spam Personal
Technically, the update process involves the following actions:
1. The anti-spam database is downloaded from the source specified at the
startup (an update server or a local folder) and stored in the specified folder
on your hard drive.
2. While downloading, integrity and validity of the new anti-spam database is
tested. If the database was corrupted during the downloading process, then
the possible reason will be determined, an information message will be
displayed and the updating process will be cancelled.
3. As a rule, the anti-spam database updates are partial (only additions will be
downloaded) but sometimes (once or twice a month) a complete
(cumulative) update is performed, when the entire database is downloaded.
4. The downloaded data will be compiled and will form a new anti-spam
database. Kaspersky Anti-Spam Personal reloads this new database so
that the new data are used.
