If by some reasons you cannot run automatic database update from the internet then the user/ administrator can use anti-virus database released in ZIP-archives.
Archives with anti-virus database are regularly laid out on the Kaspersky Lab's official sites in the zips folder.
What archives reside in the folder zips?
This folder contains sets of anti-virus databases formed by Kaspersky Lab.
- Sets of anti-virus databases
- av-i386-daily.zip -has all updates of anti-virus databases released since last Sunday till the present moment. As Kaspersky Lab release updates every hour the archive is updated every hour too.
- av-i386-weekly.zip - has all updates of anti-virus databases that were released last week (from Sunday till Sunday). The archive is updated on the servers once a week on Sunday.
- av-i386-cumul.zip - has a full set of anti-virus databases . The archive contains all anti-virus databases released till the last Sunday. It is updated once a week on Sunday.
