Program updates
151
If you want to download and install updates for program modules:
open application settings window, select
Update,
and check
Update ap-
plication modules
.
If there is an application module update on the update source, the applica-
tion will download the required updates and apply them after the system is
restarted. Downloaded module updates will not be installed until the com-
puter is restarted.
If the next program update occurs before the computer is restarted and pre-
viously downloaded application module updates are installed, application da-
tabases only will be updated.
Update method (see Figure 54) defines how the Updater is started. One of the
following modes may be selected under
Run Mode
:
Automatically
. Kaspersky Anti-Virus checks the update source for update
packages at specified intervals (see 13.3.1 on pg. 147). When the program
detects fresh updates, it downloads them and installs them on the computer.
This mode is used by default.
If a network resource is specified as an update source
, Kaspersky Anti-Virus
tries to launch updating after a certain amount of time has elapsed as
specified in the previous update package. If a local folder is selected as an
update source, the application tries to download the updates from the local
folder at a frequency specified in the update package that was downloaded
during the last updating. This option allows Kaspersky Lab to regulate the
updating frequency in case of virus outbreaks and other potentially
dangerous situations. Your application will receive the latest updates for
application databases and software modules in a timely manner, thus
excluding the possibility for malicious software to penetrate your computer.

button near the mode title and make the necessary changes in

. With this option, you start the Updater manually. Kaspersky Anti-
Virus notifies you when it needs to be updated:
