In ICAP mode, Kaspersky Scan Engine supports several ways of updating the anti-virus database.
When the anti-virus database is updated, the encrypted user agent string of KAV SDK is transferred to Kaspersky. For the list of transferred data, see section "Data transferred to Kaspersky during an update".
