User Guide - Kaspersky Lab

Program updates 227
Kaspersky Internet Security adds new update sources at the top of the list, and
automatically enables the source, by checking the box beside the source name.
If several resources are selected as update sources, the application tries to
connect to them one after another, starting from the top of the list, and retrieves
the updates from the first available source. You can change the order of sources
in the list using the Move up and Move down buttons.
To edit the list, use the Add, Edit and Remove buttons. The only source you
cannot edit or delete is the one labeled Kaspersky Lab’s update servers.
If you use Kaspersky Lab’s update servers as the update source, you can select
the optimal server location for downloading updates. Kaspersky Lab has servers
in several countries. Choosing the Kaspersky Lab update server closest to you
will save you time and download updates faster.
To choose the closest server, check Define region (do not use autodetect)
and select the country closest to your current location from the dropdown list. If
you check this box, updates will run taking the region selected in the list into
account. This checkbox is deselected by default and information about the
current region from the operating system registry is used.
17.3.2. Selecting an update method and
what to update
When configuring updating settings, it is important to define what will be updated
and what update method will be used.
Update objects (see Figure 84) are the components that will be updated:
• Application databases
• Network drivers that enable protection components to intercept network
traffic
• Firewall database containing network attack descriptions
• Program modules
Application databases, network drivers and Firewall database are always
updated, and the application modules are only updated if the settings are
configured for it.
