Updater settings window

Using the Updater settings window, you can specify settings for updating of anti-virus databases and program modules and set up an update schedule.

from Internet, standard databases - download standard anti-virus database from the Kaspersky Lab update server. Standard anti-virus database allows you to detect all currently existing malware and disinfect objects and data infected with such malware.

from Internet, extended databases - download extended anti-virus database from the Kaspersky Lab update server. Apart from detecting all currently existing malware, extended database allows you to detect programs providing to intruders remote access to your data.

from a local folder - copy anti-virus database from a local folder or a disk. Select this type of update if you received your anti-virus databases on a CD or floppy disk. Do not forget to specify the path to the folder where the anti-virus database is stored in the Local folder text field.
