New Program Update Features
•
This version of the application debuts our improved update procedure:
Kaspersky Internet Security automatically checks the update source for
update packages. When the program detects fresh updates, it downloads
them and installs them on the computer.
•
The program downloads updates incrementally, ignoring files that have
already been downloaded. This lowers the download traffic for updates by
up to 90%.
•
Updates are downloaded from the fastest source.
•
You can choose not to use a proxy server, by downloading program
updates from a local source. This noticeably reduces the traffic on the
proxy server.
•
The program has an update rollback feature that can return to the
previous version of the signatures, if, for example, the threat signatures
are damaged or there is an error in copying.
•
A feature has been added for distributing updates to a local folder to give
other network computers access to them to save bandwidth.
