Downloading updates from the Internet

Kaspersky Labs update the anti-virus database residing on the update servers every three hours.

Kaspersky Labs update servers are websites where Kaspersky Labs keep and update the anti-virus database.

In order to ensure that your anti-virus database is always updated from the Kaspersky Labs Internet update servers, you must apply the settings described in the instructions below:

Follow the Configure Updater link in the left part of the Settings tab.
When a dialog box Updater settings opens, select one of the following types of updating from the Update type drop-down list:
from Internet, standard databases - anti-virus database that allows you to detect all currently existing malware and disinfect objects and data infected with such malware.
from Internet, extended databases - standard database and additional database that allows you to detect programs giving intruders remote access to your data.

The standard anti-virus database alone is able to ensure efficient anti-virus protection of your computer. Using extended database may affect the speed of the program operation.

If you use a Dial-up Internet connection and you do not want Kaspersky Anti-Virus to interrupt the update process if you temporarily disconnect from the Internet, check the box Wait for Dial-up network connection.

This setting is used only for automatic scheduled anti-virus database update!

Press ОК.
