Kaspersky Anti-Virus 19

To update the databases of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, use one of the following methods:

• In the lower right corner of Desktop (Taskbar notification area), right-click the application icon and select Update from the shortcut menu. If the application icon is hidden from the notification area, click the Show hidden icons arrow. 
• In the main window, click Database Update → Run update. If you’re not sure how to open the application, see this article.
• Send the Database Update command remotely through My Kaspersky. For the guide on running scans and updates remotely, see this article. 

The following files are downloaded and installed on your computer during updates: 

• Antivirus databases. Antivirus databases contain threat descriptions and methods used to combat them.
  
• Application modules. They eliminate application vulnerabilities, develop the existing functions and add new ones. 
• New application version. The application downloads and installs the new version automatically by default on top of a previous version. If you experience any issues with the automatic application upgrade, download the new version from the Kaspersky Lab website and install it manually.

Hover the mouse pointer over the Kaspersky Anti-Virus icon in the Desktop notification area. If the application icon is hidden from the notification area, click the Show hidden icons arrow.

In the pop-up window, you will see the databases release date.  

If you experience problems with database update, try looking up your issue in the Update errors section.

If the issue persists or if your issue is not described, submit a request to Kaspersky Lab technical support via the My Kaspersky portal. Please include a detailed description of the issue.
