About Database Update
Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows databases stored on the protected device quickly become outdated. Kaspersky's virus analysts detect hundreds of new threats daily, create identifying records for them, and include them in application database updates. Database updates are a file or set of files containing records that identify threats discovered during the time since the last update was created. To maintain the required level of device protection, we recommend that database updates are received regularly.
