Step 12. Configuring the proxy server settings

If a proxy server is used for Internet access, during this step you can specify the proxy server settings. Internet access is required for downloading anti-virus databases and Anti-Spam databases from Kaspersky update servers.

If a proxy server is not used for Internet access, press ENTER.

   • If you want to specify the IP address and port of the proxy server, enter the proxy server address in the format proxy_server_IP_address:port and press ENTER.
4. Specify whether or not authentication is required for connecting to the proxy server:

   • If authentication is required, type yes (or y) and press ENTER.
5. If you specified that authentication is required:
