4.2. Installing the anti-virus
database
Kaspersky Anti-Virus performs anti-virus scanning and disinfects infected objects
based on the records in the anti-virus database. Anti-virus database contains
description of all currently known malicious programs and methods of disinfection
of objects infected with them. Therefore, it is extremely important to keep your
anti-virus database up-to-date.
New viruses appear every day. We recommend that you make sure to
update your anti-virus database immediately after your application is
installed because the database included into the distribution kit will be
out-of-date by the moment when you install your application.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus updates the anti-virus database using the keepup2date
component. In order start the updating process, enter the following in the
command line:
/path/to/ kav4fs-keepup2date
The anti-virus database will be then downloaded from the updates server of
Kaspersky Lab into a special folder specified in the configuration file.
4.3. Configuration for using
Kaspersky Anti-Virus together
with Webmin

By using Webmin you can, for example, restrict access to the application's
functionality by setting up a system of passwords for the users.
By default all settings of the Anti-Virus configured remotely using the Webmin
program are saved in the default configuration file of the application.
If you wish to create an alternative configuration file using the Webmin
program, you must:
1. Copy data from the existing configuration file into a new file and
