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:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Update task type.
  2. In the right part of the web-console window, click the link with the name of the task whose settings you want to modify.
  3. Select the Updates source tab.
  4. Select the Other directories on the local network or the Web option.
  5. Click the Add update source link.

    This opens the Update source window.

  6. 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.
  7. Click the Add button.
  8. Click the Save button to save the changes.

To delete a user update source, do the following:

  3. Select the Updates source tab.
  4. Select the Other directories on the local network or the Web option.
  5. In the list select the source that you want to delete.
  6. Click the Delete button.
  7. Click the Save button to save the changes.

To change the order in which Kaspersky Anti-Virus accesses the user sources, do the following:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Update task type.
  2. In the right part of the web-console window, click the link with the name of the task whose settings you want to modify.
  3. Select the Updates source tab.
  4. Select the Other directories on the local network or the Web option.
  5. In the list select the source for which you want to change the order in which it is accessed.
  6. 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.

  7. Click the Save button to save the changes.

To change the path to the source, do the following:

  1. In the left part of Kaspersky Web Management Console select the Update task type.
  2. In the right part of the web-console window, click the link with the name of the task whose settings you want to modify.

  5. In the list select the source whose path you want to modify.
  6. In the input field modify the path to the source and click the Close link.
