Updating anti-virus databases

Kaspersky Internet Security uses anti-virus databases when searching for malware. The app's anti-virus databases contain descriptions of malware currently known to Kaspersky Lab, information on how to neutralize it, and descriptions of other malicious objects. We recommend that you regularly update the databases.

To update the app's anti-virus databases, your device must be connected to the Internet.

You can start an update of anti-virus databases on the device or remotely on My Kaspersky.

To start an update of anti-virus databases on the device,

On the Kaspersky Internet Security quick launch panel, tap Update.

In addition to the anti-virus databases, Kaspersky Internet Security lets you update the app version. App version updates remove vulnerabilities in Kaspersky Internet Security, add new features, or improve existing features. Kaspersky Internet Security updates the app version using Google Play.
