Updating application modules

Application module updates fix errors, improve performance, and add new features. When a new application module update becomes available, you need to confirm installation of the update. You can confirm installation of an application module update either in the application interface or in Kaspersky Security Center. When an update becomes available, the application will show one of the following notifications in the main window of Kaspersky Endpoint Security: important update (), or critical update (). If application module updates require reviewing and accepting the terms of the End User License Agreement, the application installs updates after the terms of the End User License Agreement have been accepted. For details about keeping track of application module updates and confirming an update in Kaspersky Security Center, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.

After installing an application update, you may be required to restart your computer.

To configure application module updates:

  1. In the main application window, click the Database update button.
  2. Select the Update task and click the Run mode: <mode> link.

    The Update task properties open.

  3. In the Downloading and installing updates of application modules block, select the Download updates of application modules check box.
