Manual update for Kaspersky Antivirus

Kaspersky allows users to update the database manually if there is no Internet connection. The way to update is also simple but to ensure the highest efficiency, users should regularly update almost every day, which is the weakness of this update method.

To manually update, you need to take two steps :

Step 1 : Visit the website to download the database update file to your computer.

Step 2 : set up a new database file identification program.

Specifically, first visit here to start the update. After that, you need to determine which version you are using, which is the Kaspersky version 7.0, click on the link corresponding to version 7 here.

At the update page, you will see six files divided into two groups. Group 1 consists of three files: av-i386-daily.zip, av-i386-weekly.zip, av-i386-cumul.zip for Kaspersky Antivirus. If you are using Kaspersky Internet Security, you can use the remaining three files of group 2: av-i386 & ids-daily.zip, av-i386 & ids-weekly.zip, av-i386 & ids-cumul.zip, with additional sections Anti-network attacks.

You only need to download one of the three files below:

- av-i386-daily.zip : contains all virus updates from Sunday to the present day. This is the latest database file and updated regularly, users should use this file.
- av-i386-weekly.zip : contains all virus updates from last Sunday to last Saturday. Database updated once a week.
- av-i386-cumul.zip : contains all original virus updates until last Saturday.
