17.3.3. Update distribution
If your home computers are connected through a home network, you do not need
to download and installed updates on each of them separately, since this would
consume more network bandwidth. You can use the update distribution feature,
which helps reduce traffic by retrieving updates in the following manner:
1. One of the computers on the network retrieves an application update
package from the Kaspersky Lab web servers or from another web
resources hosting a current set of updates. The updates retrieved are
placed in a public access folder.
2. Other computers on the network access the public access folder to
retrieve application updates.
To enable update distribution, select the Update distribution folder
checkbox on the Additional tab (see Figure 86), and in the field below, specify
the shared folder where updates retrieved will be placed. You can enter the path
manually or selected in the window that opens when you click Browse. If the
checkbox is selected, updates will automatically be copied to this folder when
they are retrieved.
Note that Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 only retrieves update packages for v.
6.0 applications from the Kaspersky Lab update servers.
If you want other computers on the network to update from the folder that
contains updates copied from the Internet, you must take the following steps:
1. Grant public access to this folder.
2. Specify the shared folder as the update source on the network
computers in the Updater settings.
