Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0
Kaspersky Anti-Virus adds new update sources at the top of the list, and auto-
matically enables the source, by checking the box beside the source name.
If several resources are selected as update sources, the application tries to con-
nect to them one after another, starting from the top of the list, and retrieves the
updates from the first available source. You can change the order of sources in
the list using the
Move up
and
Move down
buttons.
To edit the list, use the
Add
,
Edit
and
Remove
buttons. The only source you
cannot edit or delete is the one labeled Kaspersky Lab‟s update servers.
If you use Kaspersky Lab‟s update servers as the update source, you can select
the optimal server location for downloading updates. Kaspersky Lab has servers
in several countries. Choosing the Kaspersky Lab update server closest to you
will save you time and download updates faster.
To choose the closest server, check
Define region (do not use autodetect)
and select the country closest to your current location from the dropdown list. If
you check this box, updates will run taking the region selected in the list into ac-
count. This checkbox is deselected by default and information about the current
region from the operating system registry is used
.

Selecting an update method and
what to update
When configuring updating settings, it is important to define what will be updated
and what update method will be used.
Update objects (see Figure 53) are the components that will be updated:
Application databases
Network drivers that enable protection components to intercept network
traffic
Program modules
Application databases and network drivers are always updated, and the applica-
tion modules are only updated if the settings are configured for it.
