7.4. Setting automatic updating of
anti-virus databases on
workstations
It is advisable to regularly update Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
anti-virus databases on
workstations. The best way to keep your computers safe is to set automatic
updating of anti-virus databases from the database-update storage on a server.
Update your anti-virus database on all workstations in a timely fashion to
minimize the possibility of virus penetration. When creating a logical network, the
administrator must configure the automatic updating of anti-virus databases and
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
programs on workstations from the corresponding server
storages. For details of this procedure, refer to subchapter 7.4.1 on page 78.
Depending on the complexity of your logical network, storages on a server can
be updated via the Internet or from other server storages that are, in turn,
updated via the Internet (see subchapter 7.4.2 on page 81).
7.4.1. Updating anti-virus databases from a
Kaspersky AV server
To schedule updating of the anti-virus database from a server:
1. Add the updating task to the list of tasks to be performed on the
workstation. To add the task, select the required workstation in the
network pane, switch to the Tasks tab in the workstation property
pane and click the
button at the right side of the page. The new
task wizard window will appear on your screen (see Figure 62).
2. Enter the task name in the Name text field and select this task from
the Task type drop-down list. Click Next to proceed.
3. In the Schedule window (see Figure 63), schedule the task to be
started automatically.
We recommend you to schedule updating of the anti-virus
database every day. To do this, select Daily and click the
button at the right side of the window. The Add time dialog box
(see Figure 64) will appear on your screen.
Enter the startup time in the Time text field.
