Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

To update Kaspersky Lab products 2009 from a local folder you are required to have at least two computers with Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 / Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 installed, one computer must have access to the Internet in order to download up-to-date databases from the Kaspersky Lab servers.

Kaspersky Labs products version 2009 can save updates of threat signatures and program modules to a local source (disc folder, network resource). To update threat signatures or program modules from a local folder and to distribute these update on computer(s) in the local network at least one computer with Internet access is required.

 If several Kaspersky Labs products version 2009 are installed in the local network, then each copy can be configured to update from a local folder. To configure the product update from a local folder, do the following: 

• configure one computer to update from Internet from the Kaspersky Lab's servers 
• on this computer create the folder to store the update files and share either this or default folder: 
• for Windows XP the default folder is \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP8\Update distribution 
• for Windows Vista the default folder is \ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP8\Update distribution

By default the folder is hidden. If you want to copy updates into this folder, click My Computer > in the Tools menu select Folder Options > go to the View folder > in the list check Show hidden files and folders.

Next configure the databases to be copied to a local folder:

• Open the main application window 
• click the Settings button 
• in the left part of the window select Update
• in the right part of the window click the Settings button 
• go to the Additional tab 
• enable the option Copy updates to folder 
• click the Browse button to define a folder different from the default folder 
• click OK to close each window 
• run update of anti-virus databases

To update computer(s) in the local network, share the update folder or copy the update folder on target computers. But first configure each target computer the following way: 

• open the application main window 
• click the Settings button 
• in the left part of the window select Update 
• in the right part of the window click the Settings button 
• on the Source tab clear the box Kaspersky Lab’s update servers 
• click the Add link 
• browse the folder into which databases and application modules have been previously saved 
• click OK to close each window 
• run the update process

The dialog windows of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 und Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 are the same but with the corresponding product names and the number of Protection components.
