is by default not used for local addresses.
16.4.4. Update distribution
If your home computers are connected through a home network, you do not need
to download and installed updates on each of them separately, since this would
consume more network bandwidth. You can use the update distribution feature,
which helps reduce traffic by retrieving updates in the following manner:
1. One of the computers on the network retrieves an application and
threat signature update package from the Kaspersky Lab web
servers or from another web resources hosting a current set of
updates. The updates retrieved are placed in a public access folder.
2. Other computers on the network access the public access folder to
retrieve application updates.
To enable update distribution, select the
Copy to folder
checkbox on the
Advanced
tab (see Figure 76), and in the field below, specify the shared folder
where updates retrieved will be placed. You can enter the path manually or
selected in the window that opens when you click
Browse
. If the checkbox is
selected, updates will automatically be copied to this folder when they are
retrieved.
