UpdateDuring the license validity period you can download updates for the databases of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Databases are files containing records that are used to detect the malicious code of known threats in scanned objects. These records contain information about the control sections of the threats' code and algorithms used for disinfecting objects in which these threats are contained. Virus analysts at Kaspersky Lab detect hundreds of new threats daily, create records to identify them, and include them in database updates. Database updates are one or several files, which contain records identifying threats that have been detected since the previous update had been released. To minimize the risk of infecting the computer, we recommend that you receive database updates regularly. Kaspersky Lab can also release update packages for Kaspersky Endpoint Security application modules. Update packages are classified as urgent (or critical) or routine. Urgent update packages remove vulnerabilities and fix errors; routine updates add new functions or improve existing ones. During license validity period you can download updates from the web site of Kaspersky Lab and install them manually. If updates download is interrupted or terminates with an error, Kaspersky Endpoint Security automatically reverts to using databases from the previously installed update. In the event Kaspersky Endpoint Security databases are corrupted, you can roll them back to the previously installed update. By default, if Anti-Virus databases have not been updated within a week since Kaspersky Lab had released previous database updates, Kaspersky Endpoint Security will log the Databases are outdated (AVBasesAreOutOfDate) event. If the databases are not updated within two weeks, the Databases are obsolete (AVBasesAreTotallyOutOfDate) event will be logged. To run an update task:
