Updating anti-virus databases

Kaspersky app uses anti-virus databases when searching for malware. The app's anti-virus databases contain descriptions of malware currently known to Kaspersky, information on how to neutralize it, and descriptions of other malicious objects.

To update the app's anti-virus databases, your device must be connected to the internet.

With a subscription for the Kaspersky app, you can set a schedule for automatic anti-virus database updates.
