Configuring update settings
Your computer‟s security depends directly on updating databases and program
modules on a regular basis. In this window, the Setup Wizard asks you to select
a mode for program updates, and to configure a schedule.
Automatically
. Kaspersky Anti-Virus checks the update source for update
packages at specified intervals. Scans can be set to be more frequent during
virus outbreaks and less so when they are over. When the program detects
fresh updates, it downloads them and installs them on the computer. This is
the default setting.
Every 1 day(s)
. Updates will run automatically according to the schedule
created. You can configure the schedule by clicking
Change
.
Manually
. If you choose this option, you will run program updates yourself.
Note that databases and program modules included with the software may be
outdated by the time you install the program. That is why we recommend down-
loading the latest program updates. To do so, click
Update now
. Then Kas-
persky Anti-Virus will download the necessary updates from the update servers
and will install them on your computer.
To configure updates (select update source, run updates under a specified login,
or activate update download to a local source), click the
Settings
button.

Configuring a virus scan schedule
Scanning selected areas of your computer for malicious objects is one of the key
steps in protecting your computer.
When you install Kaspersky Anti-Virus, three default virus scan tasks are
created. In this window, the Setup Wizard asks you to choose a scan task set-
ting:
Scan startup objects
Kaspersky Anti-Virus scans startup objects automatically when it is started
by default. You can edit the schedule settings in another window by clicking
Change
.
Scan critical areas
To automatically scan critical areas of your computer (system memory, Star-
tup objects, boot sectors, Microsoft Windows system folders) for viruses,
check the appropriate box. You can configure the schedule by clicking
Change
.
The default setting for this automatic scan is disabled.
