Frequently Asked Questions
updates from the Internet and shares them with the other networked
computers.
Question: Is it possible for an intruder to replace the anti-virus
database?
Every anti-virus database has a one-of-a-kind signature checked by
Kaspersky Anti-Virus when accessing the database. If the signature is
wrong or the date of the database is later than that of the license
expiration, Kaspersky Anti-Virus will not use it.
Question: How should I set up updating for a single computer from the
Internet, to enable further sharing of those updates with other
networked computers?
Let us refer to the computer to be updated from the Internet as the
server, and to other computers as clients of that server.
You can use several methods to set up updating in a local area network:
•
Enable use of a local updates' source within Kaspersky
Administration Kit 5.0 server.
Kaspersky Administration Kit has built-in functionality for distribution
of updates within corporate networks. It can update a shared source
of updates according to a specified schedule and launch updating
tasks on other computers. Kaspersky Administration Kit will check
that the volume of data downloaded from the Internet does not
exceed the actual needs of the installed applications. You can
review the list of available patches on the server. The setup
procedure is described in detail in the administrator's guide for
Kaspersky Administration Kit 5.0.
•
Enable use of a local updates' source in one of Kaspersky Lab
products.
This option should be used when you cannot employ Kaspersky
Administration Kit, or when you need to arrange a more complicated
structure
In order to do so:
of
Identify the computers which will act as servers of updates.
o
They should have Kaspersky Lab applications (version 5.0)
installed.
Create a network resource to be used for further sharing of
o
updates on each of the selected computers. It can be a
network folder on a Microsoft Windows computer, FTP or
HTTP server. Please define correct access rights for that
folder.
