Kaspersky Internet Security uses anti-virus databases when searching for malware. The anti-virus databases of the app contain descriptions of malware currently known to Kaspersky Lab and how to neutralize it, as well as descriptions of other malicious objects. We recommend that you regularly update the databases.
Besides the anti-virus databases, Kaspersky Internet Security allows you to update the app version. App version updates remove vulnerabilities from Kaspersky Internet Security, add new functions, or improve existing functions.
To update the app anti-virus databases, you must have an Internet connection configured on your device.
If you download Kaspersky Internet Security from Google Play, the app will update anti-virus databases only. The app version is updated through Google Play.
You can start the update on the device or remotely on the My Kaspersky portal.
To start the update on the device:
On the quick launch panel in the main window of Kaspersky Internet Security, tap Update.
