Updating application modules

Application module updates fix errors, improve performance, and add new features. When a new application module update becomes available, you need to confirm installation of the update. You can confirm installation of an application module update either in the application interface or in Kaspersky Security Center. Whenever an update is available, the application displays a notification in the main window of Kaspersky Endpoint Security: Notification icon in the form of a bell.. If application module updates require reviewing and accepting the terms of the End User License Agreement, the application installs updates after the terms of the End User License Agreement have been accepted. For details about keeping track of application module updates and confirming an update in Kaspersky Security Center, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.

After installing an application update, you may be required to restart your computer.

  1. In the main application window, go to the Update section.

    A window with the list of local update tasks. The user can start the update of databases and application modules, as well as roll back the last update.
