Configuring a user update source
If, for some reason, you are unable to use Kaspersky Lab's update servers as an update source, you can configure the Kaspersky Anti-Virus databases to receive updates from a local or network directory. To do this, you need to configure one or several user sources. User sources can be an update sites on the Internet, an FTP server or a directory with update files.
To add a user update source, do the following:
- In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Update task type.
- In the right part of the web-console window, click the link with the name of the task whose settings you want to modify.
- Select the Updates source tab.
- Select the Other directories on the local network or the Web option.
- Click the Add update source link.
This opens the Update source window.
- In the Updates source field, specify the URL of updates available from an FTP or HTTP server or enter the full path to a directory containing the update files.
- Click the Add button.
- Click the Save button to save the changes.
To delete a user update source, do the following:
- In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Update task type.
- In the right part of the web-console window, click the link with the name of the task whose settings you want to modify.
- Select the Updates source tab.
- Select the Other directories on the local network or the Web option.
- In the list select the source that you want to delete.
- Click the Delete button.
- Click the Save button to save the changes.

- In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Update task type.
- In the right part of the web-console window, click the link with the name of the task whose settings you want to modify.
- Select the Updates source tab.
- Select the Other directories on the local network or the Web option.
- In the list select the source for which you want to change the order in which it is accessed.
- Using the Up and Down arrows, move the selected source towards the top or the bottom of the list.
The Anti-Virus will always try the next specified source if the previous source is unavailable.

- Select the Other directories on the local network or the Web option.
- In the list select the source whose path you want to modify.
