scanning of various file types. However, do not forget that this leads to
lowering the security level of your computer.
Question: Why do I need a license key? Will my Kaspersky Security
application work without it?
Kaspersky Security 5.5 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 will not
work without a license key.
If you are still undecided whether or not to purchase a licensed copy of
the application, we can provide you with a temporary key file (trial key),
which will only work either for two weeks or for a month. When this
period expires, the key will be blocked.
Question: What happens when my Kaspersky Security license expires?
After the expiration of the license, Kaspersky Security 5.5 for Microsoft
Exchange Server 2003 will continue operating, but databases updating
feature will be disabled. Kaspersky Security will continue performing
anti-virus and background storage scan as well as the anti-spam scan of
incoming e-mail messages, but it will be using obsolete anti-virus and
content filtration databases.
When this happens, contact the dealer you purchased your copy of
Kaspersky Security application from or Kaspersky Lab Ltd. directly.
Question: Why daily updates are required?
Several years ago viruses distributed via floppy disks and at that time it
was sufficient for computer protection to install an anti-virus program
and update the anti-virus database from time to time. Yet, the recent
virus outbreaks spread over the world in a matter of several hours and
an anti-virus application using old anti-virus database may not be able to
protect you against a new threat. Therefore, to ensure protection against
new viruses you have to update your anti-virus database on a daily
basis.
The number of messages containing SPAM has increased recently.
These messages fill up the user's mailbox with useless messages and
consume valuable business time. Besides, the mass mailing
technologies can be used for propagation of virus outbreaks. Updating
our content filtration databases on a regular basis is necessary in order
to ensure protection against unwanted e-mail messages.
Kaspersky Lab shortens the update interval for the anti-virus and the
content filtration database located at the server each year. Now the anti-
virus database is updated at the server every hour.
