Which user will the update run as (see 6.6 on pg. 60)
Whether downloaded updates are to be copied to a local directory (see
13.3.3 on pg. 152)
What actions are to be performed after updating is complete (see 13.3.3
on pg. 152)
The following sections examine these aspects in detail.
13.3.1.
Selecting an update source
The
update source
is some resource, containing updates for the databases and
Kaspersky Anti-Virus application modules. Update sources can exist as HTTP
and FTP servers, local or network folders.
The main update source is
Kaspersky Lab’s update servers
. These are special
web sites containing available updates for the databases and application mod-
ules for all Kaspersky Lab products.
If you cannot access Kaspersky Lab‟s update servers (for example, you have no
Internet connection), you can call the Kaspersky Lab main office at +7 (495) 797-
87-00, +7 (495) 956-00-00 to request contact information for Kaspersky Lab
partners, who can provide zipped updates on floppy disks or CD/DVDs.
Warning!
When requesting updates on removable media, please specify whether you want
to have the updates for application modules as well.
You can copy the updates from a disk and upload them to a FTP or HTTP site, or
save them in a local or network folder.
Select the update source on the
Update Sources
tab
(see Figure 52).
By default, the updates are downloa
ded from Kaspersky Lab‟s update servers.
The list of addresses which this item represents cannot be edited. When updat-
ing, Kaspersky Anti-Virus calls this list, selects the address of the first server, and
tries to download files from this server. If updates cannot be downloaded from
the first server, the application tries to connect to each of the servers in turn until
it is successful.
