Kaspersky Anti-Virus searches for malware and cures infected objects on the basis of the anti-virus databases. It is vital to keep the anti-virus databases up-to-date since new viruses, Trojans and other types of malware appear every day. We recommend that you update the anti-virus databases immediately after installing the application, since the databases included in the distribution kit will be outdated by the time you install. Anti-Virus database updates are started for each server individually.
The anti-virus databases are updated hourly on Kaspersky Lab update servers. Information about whether or not the anti-virus databases are current can be found in the server settings on the Anti-virus databases update tab.
To get information about the anti-virus databases Kaspersky Anti-Virus is using:
- Select the server whose information you want to view.
- In the control panel select the Anti-virus databases update tab.
Information about current anti-virus databases is given in the top part of the tab.
