Updates of Kaspersky Security application databases keeps Microsoft Exchange server protection up to date.
New viruses and other threats as well as new kinds of spam appear on a daily basis worldwide. Information about threats and spam and ways to neutralize them is contained in the application databases, namely the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam databases. Application databases have to be updated regularly to enable timely detection of threats and spam messages. The application considers the Anti-Virus databases as outdated after 24 hours, and the Anti-Spam databases after 5 hours from the last update.
For the program to work, it is recommended to update the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam databases immediately after installing the program. The anti-virus databases on Kaspersky update servers are updated every hour. The Anti-Spam database is updated every five minutes. You are advised to set up automatic database updates to run with the same frequency.
Kaspersky Security can retrieve database updates from the following update sources:
- Kaspersky's update servers on the Internet
- From another HTTP server or FTP server, such as your Intranet server
- From a local update source, such as a local or network folder
- From the update center, that is one of the Microsoft Exchange servers with Kaspersky Security installed, which has been assigned to act as the update center.
Database updates can be performed manually or according to schedule.
HTTPS port 443 is used for application database updates.
