To update Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 from a local folder one computer with access to Internet and with Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 installed on it is needed.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 MP2 can copy 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 Anti-Virus 6.0 are installed in the local network then each copy can be configured to update from a local folder. To configure Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 update from a local folder, do the following: 

• configure one computer to update from Internet from the Kaspersky Lab servers 
• on this computer share the folder \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP6\Update distribution

By default the folder is hidden. If you want to copy updates into this folder, click My Computer > in the Tools menu select Folder Options > go to the View folder > in the list check Show hidden files and folders.

Next configure the databases to be copied to a local folder: 

• Open the main application window 
• Select Settings in the upper menu 
• In the right part of the Settings window select Service > Update 
• In the left part of the Settings window in the Update settings section click the Configure button
• In the Settings: Update window go to the Additional tab 
• Check Update distribution folder
• Click the Browse button to define a folder to distribute threat signatures

Next, start the process to copy the updates to a local folder the following way: 

• Open the main application window 
• In the left part of the window select Service > Update 
• Click Update now in the right part of the window

To update computer(s) in the local network, share the update folder (in our case it is the Updates folder in the root directory C:\) or copy the update folder on the target computers. But first configure each target computer the following way:

• Open the main application window 
• Select Settings in the upper menu
