In many local networks, personal or public, the anti-virus databases are not updated individually by each computer, but only by one, which is the update server. By updating the databases for its own antivirus program, the computer saves the downloaded data to a shared folder. It is quite simple to implement such database saving in Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - the Internet;
- - hard disk space.
Instructions
Step 1
Open the Kaspersky Anti-Virus window. Click on "Settings" in the upper corner of the screen. In the left part of the settings window, find the "Update" item (it is marked with a small globe icon) and click on it with the mouse button. In the center of the update settings screen, find the "Advanced" section. Check the box next to "Copy updates to folder" and click on the "Browse" button to the right of it. A window for selecting a folder for saving databases will open.
Step 2
Specify the location for saving Kaspersky anti-virus databases by selecting it in the list of folders on the hard disk or typing it manually in the line below the list. Make sure there is enough free space in this section, as this folder will become quite large over time. As a rule, you can create a special local disk that will be responsible for the databases for the software from Kaspersky. This is useful in cases where you need to compare any data or do a system recovery.
Step 3
Click "OK" to confirm your choice, and "OK" again to close the settings window. Go to the "Update" section and click on the "Execute update" button. You will only have to share this folder with local network users. This can be done by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Access" from the drop-down menu.
Step 4
Thus, you can easily save various databases of anti-virus software from Kaspersky. It is also worth noting that the most optimal protection of a personal computer is to update the virus databases at least several times a week. In the future, you will not have any problems with such operations.
