Keeping your Kaspersky Antivirus up-to-date is crucial for maintaining robust protection against the latest threats. Follow these easy steps to ensure your system is safeguarded:
Launch the Kaspersky Antivirus application by double-clicking its icon on your desktop or by selecting it from the Start menu.
Once the application is open, locate the “Database Update” option, usually found on the main dashboard or under the “Protection” tab.
Click on the “Run Update” button. The software will connect to Kaspersky servers and download the necessary updates.
A progress bar will indicate the status of the update. Ensure that your internet connection is stable while the update is in progress.
Once the update is complete, a notification will appear confirming that your antivirus databases are up to date. You can also check the “Last Update” timestamp in the update section to verify.
If the update fails, make sure your internet connection is active and stable. Try restarting your router if necessary.
Other antivirus programs or firewalls may interfere with the update process. Temporarily disable them and attempt the update again.
If issues persist, reach out to Kaspersky’s customer support for further assistance.
