Attention! The update method described below is auxiliary, not the basic one – use it if the computer with installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 or Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 has no Internet connection. The described update method does not provide an instantaneous delivery of the released updates and consequently does not keep the application in the actual state.
In order to update all necessary databases and application modules of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 or Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0, you can use a special update utility, which should be run manually from another computer or from a flash-carrier which is connected to the computer with the Internet connection.
First time the utility is launched all databases and modules necessary for the application and released to the present moment are loaded into a special folder, which resides in the folder with the update utility. Due to a large size of updates the first start of the utility usually takes some time. With each next start only missing, i.e. recently released, databases and modules will be loaded into the folder.
In September, 2008 the size of Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 databases takes on the flash carrier about 90 MB. Bear this information in mind, when selecting a flash carrier to store the updates for the application. With the time the size of the updates is only going to increase.
You can download some missing databases/ modules only if you have not deleted any files from the folder of the update utility.
Step-by-step instructions how to use the utility:
1. Download the necessary set of the update utility respective of the installed application and its build:
for_kis_7.0.1.325_(v.3.1.0.4).zip – set to update Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 builds 7.0.1.321 - 7.0.1.325.
for_kav_7.0.1.325_(v.3.1.0.4).zip - set to update Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 builds 7.0.1.321 - 7.0.1.325.
for_kis_7.0.0.125_(v.3.1.0.4).zip - set to update Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 builds 7.0.0.124 - 7.0.0.125.
for_kav_7.0.0.125_(v.3.1.0.4).zip - set to update Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 builds 7.0.0.124 - 7.0.0.125.
If you have to update both Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 and Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0with the same builds, use the set of databases/modules for Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 of the corresponding build. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 can update correctly from the created folder with the databases.
2. Unpack the downloaded set on another computer which is connected to the Internet or onto a flash-carrier which is connected to the computer with the Internet connection.
RED: Pay attention the full path to the folder should contain Latin symbols only!
3. The first launch of the utility will take some time, as all necessary databases/modules, released so far, are downloaded into the folder of the update utility (the approximate size of updates is 45 MB). To reduce the size of the downloaded traffic you can copy the databases from the computer with the installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 or Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 into the folder of the update utility (THIS IS NOT OBLIGATORY).
For this before you start the utility the first time, do the following:
in the folder into which the utility has been unpacked, create the Temp folder;
into the Temp folder copy the folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP7\Data\Updater\Temporary Files\temporaryFolder from the computer with installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 or Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.
4. From the unpacked folder run the file Updater.bat (double-click the file to run it).
Once the file is started, the following window appears on the screen:
The window shows that the copying process has started (the path to the file Updater.exe, shown in the figure may vary from the path shown in the window on your computer).
5. When the window disappears, in the folder of the update utility open the file iupdater.txt and make sure the file contains the following record (implying successful update):
The actual set of databases and modules is copied into the Updates subfolder of the folder, from which the file Updater.bat has been run.
Report of the utility work is written in the report.txt file. With each utility start the report will be overwritten.
6. Configure update of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 or Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 from the Updates folder, into which the updates have been saved.
For it:
Open the application main window;
Click the Settings button;
Select the Update menu
Click the Settings button in the right part of the window;
Click the Add link;
Select the folder into which the application databases and modules were saved by the utility (the Updates subfolder in the folder of the update utility) and click OK
On the Update source tab clear the box for Kaspersky Lab’s update servers;
Click OK to close each window
Run the update process to update the databases and application modules.
