program followed by rare updates to its anti-virus database. However,
recent virus epidemics spread around the world in several hours, and
Kaspersky Anti-Virus with old database may be helpless against a new
threat. In order to resist new viruses, you should update the anti-virus
database on a daily basis.
Each year Kaspersky Lab increases the frequency of its issued updates
to the anti-virus database. Currently it is updated every hour.
Updating of the Kaspersky Anti-Virus application modules is an
additional
vulnerabilities and addition of new functions.
Question: What are the changes to the updating service of version 5.0?
The Kaspersky Lab 5.0 product suite features a new updating service
which has been developed in accordance with the requests of our
users. It automates the whole updating procedure, from the preparation
of updates in Kaspersky Lab to the moment that relevant files are
updated on clients' computers.
Advantages of the new updating service include:
•
Ability to resume downloading of files after disconnection. Upon
reconnection only files which have not been downloaded are
retrieved.
•
Cumulative updates are now half the size. A cumulative update
contains the whole anti-virus database, therefore its size exceeds
considerably the size of typical updates. The new service employs a
special technology which allows using already existing anti-virus
database for a cumulative update.
•
Accelerated downloading from the Internet. Kaspersky Anti-Virus
picks up a Kaspersky Lab's updates server located in your region.
Furthermore, servers are allocated according to their performance,
so you will not be sent to an overloaded server while there is
another idle server available.
•
Use of key «black lists». Unlicensed and illegal users are now
prevented from using the updating service. Licensed users
therefore do not suffer from inability to contact overloaded updates'
servers.
•
Corporate enterprises can now create a local updates' server. This
feature is designed for organizations where a single LAN unites
computers protected by Kaspersky Lab products. Any computer on
the LAN can be turned into an updates' server that retrieves
