What is the updating program used for…

The Kaspersky Anti-Virus Updater (Kaspersky AV Updater) is included in the Kaspersky Anti-Virus software package and used for automated updating of the package component and anti-virus bases that contain virus details and describe methods to be used to recover infected files.

The Kaspersky AV Updater is able to download anti-virus bases and executable modules via the Internet (using a network or a dial-up connection), from a user defined local folder or from a server on the logic network (when operating under Kaspersky Administration Kit).

Other servers will be used one-by-one, if the updater fails to download updates from the first URL. The error connecting to the server message will appear on your screen, if the updater fails to download the updates from all the URLs in the list. If you check the [image] Use random URL in list as starting point box, the program will choose a URL from the list on the random basis and will first try to connect to this server.
