Database update

Kaspersky Security database updates keep SharePoint servers protected against new viruses and other threats. Databases contain the latest information about threats and ways to neutralize them.

Databases contain descriptions of all malicious programs known to date and ways of disinfecting objects that have been corrupted by malware, as well as descriptions of programs that may be used by criminals to do harm to the user's computer or data.

While updating the databases, the application does not update the set of Kaspersky Lab categories.

It is important to keep all databases up to date. You are advised to update the databases as soon as you install the application because the databases included in the distribution kit will already be out of date. The databases on Kaspersky Lab's update servers are updated every hour.

Databases can be updated from the following sources:

• Kaspersky Lab's update servers on the Internet
• Local updates source, such as a local or a network folder
• Another HTTP or FTP server, such as your Intranet server

The updating is performed either manually or automatically, according to a schedule. After the files are copied from the specified update source, the application automatically connects to the new databases.

For added protection of SharePoint files, you can use Kaspersky Security Network services in addition to database updates. These services provide up-to-date information about threats and malware before it appears in Anti-Virus and Anti-Phishing databases.

During setup on several SharePoint farm servers, you can define local update settings for each individual server or propagate the global update settings to all servers.

The application's functionality may change after an update of the application databases.
