  • What archives reside in the folder zips?

    Archives for applications that contain protection module against network attacks

    Archives for application that do not contain protection module against network attacks

    How to install the downloaded archives?

    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' 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.
    • Sets of anti-virus databases and databases of network attacks. Unlike previous sets of databases these sets include databases of network attacks 
      • av-i386&ids-daily.zip – has a full set of databases of network attacks and all updates of anti-virus databases released from the previous Sunday till the present moment. This archive is updated each hour as all anti-virus database updates of Kaspersky Lab. 

     

      • av-i386&ids-weekly.zip – has a full set of databases of network attacks and all updates of anti-virus databases released last week (from Sunday till Sunday). This archive is laid out on the servers once a week each Sunday. 

     

      • av-i386&ids-cumul.zip – has a full set of anti-virus databases and databases of network attacks. This archive contains all databases released up to the previous Sunday. It is updated once a week each Sunday.

    Information Databases of network attacks are updated as soon as new attacks are detected.

    Warning The archive is updated on the servers once a week on Sunday. Archives *weekly.zip, *cumul.zip and kpas101-weekly.zip are laid out on the servers every Sunday at 5:00 a.m. by Moscow time (GMT +3). At this moment the contents and the size of the archive *daily.zip are the same as those of *weekly.zip (inside each set).

    For example, today is 16th, Thursday:

    av-i386-daily.zip contains all updates released from the 12th evening (of the last Sunday) till the present moment.

    av-i386-weekly.zip contains all updates from the 5th evening (Sunday before the last) till the 12th evening (of the last Sunday)

    av-i386-cumul.zip contains all updates that have ever been released till 12th.

    How to install?

    WarningWhen unpacking archives, follow the rules:

      • the *cumul.zip archive should be unpacked to a separate folder (do not unpack the archives *weekly.zip and *daily.zip into this folder);
      • the archives *weekly.zip and *daily.zip can be unpacked into a common folder. When unpacking, click Yes when you are suggested to replace files with the same name.
      • do not unpack archives with different sets of databases (for example, anti-virus databases and anti-virus + network attacks) into a common folder!

    Having unpacked the archives run automatic database update. As the first update source define the folder with the unpacked archive *cumul.zip (if it exists), as the second – the folder with the unpacked archives *weekly.zip and *daily.zip in the update task.
