You may delete the original zip file if you are not planning to use it again.
Once you have downloaded the zip file which may be av-i386&ids-cumul.zip, extract its contents to the folder we just created. The filename may be av-i386&ids-cumul.zip. Since this may be your first time to update, download the cumulative sets of anti-virus databases and databases of network attacks. You may get the daily, weekly or cumulative update. In the succeeding page, you will be asked how big the "sack of files" you want. In this page, you will be asked which Kaspersky software version you are going to update. In the Kaspersky Labs website, go to Downloads > Antivirus Database Updates. In manual mode, we end up getting the "whole sack of files" and use it as an update source. In the automatic mode, we're only getting the files that we need to update directly from the Kaspersky Labs servers. Download Updates Manuallyĭownloading the update manually results in a bigger download size and longer download time. True, Kaspersky Internet Security or Antivirus has proven itself irreplaceable due to its effectivity and performance efficiency, taking only a small amount of computer resources while running protection. Your computer is left exposed to viruses, malicious programs, network attacks and what nots.
This will render your installed Kaspersky software useless and unable to run.
Getting your Kaspersky license key blacklisted can be quiet a nasty experience for the Kaspersky enduser.
