Applies to Kaspersky Internet Security 2011
In order to update Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 from a local folder, two computers are required. Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 must be installed on both computers, the application version, for example 11.0.0.232, installed on the computers must coincide. One of the computers must have the Internet connection to update the anti-virus databases from Kaspersky Lab servers, the other computer will update the anti-virus databases from a local folder of the computer which has the Internet connection.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 can save updates of threat signatures and program modules to a local source (disc folder, network resource). To update threat signatures or program modules from a local folder and to distribute these update on computer(s) in the local network at least one computer with Internet access is required.
If several copies of Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 are installed in the local network then each copy can be configured to update from a local folder. To configure the product update from a local folder, do the following:
configure one computer to update from Internet from the Kaspersky Lab's servers
on this computer create the folder to store the update files and share either this or default folder:
for Windows XP the default folder is \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP9\Update distribution
for Windows Vista/7 the default folder is \ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\AVP9\Update distribution
By default the folder is hidden. If you want to copy updates into this folder, you are required to enable the option Show hidden files and folders.
