WHAT TO DO WHEN APPLICATION NOTIFICATIONS APPEAR
Notifications that appear in the taskbar notification area inform you of events occurring in the application's operation
which require your attention. Depending on how critical the event is, you may receive the following types of notification:
Critical notifications – inform you of events that have a critical importance for the computer's security, such as
detection of a malicious object or a dangerous activity in the system. Windows of critical notifications and popup
messages are red-colored.
Important notifications – inform you of events that are potentially important for the computer's security, such as
detection of a potentially infected object or a suspicious activity in the system. Windows of important
notifications and pop-up messages are yellow-colored.
Information notifications – inform you of events that do not have critical importance for the computer's security.
Windows of information notifications and pop-up messages are green-colored.
If such a notification is displayed on the screen, you should select one of the options suggested in it. The optimal option
is the one recommended as the default by Kaspersky Lab experts.
HOW TO UPDATE APPLICATION DATABASES AND
MODULES
By default, Kaspersky Anti-Virus automatically checks for updates on the Kaspersky Lab update servers. If the server
stores a set of recent updates, Kaspersky Anti-Virus downloads and installs them in background mode. You can start
updating Kaspersky Anti-Virus manually at any moment.
To download updates from Kaspersky Lab servers, you should be connected to Internet.
To start an update from the context menu,
select Update from the context menu of the application icon.
