for the content filtration databases. To do so, assign the av value to the 
UpdateBases parameter in the [updater.options] section: 

[updater.options] 

 

UpdateBases=av 

If your network has a complicated structure, we recommend that you download 
updates from Kaspersky Lab’s update servers every twenty minutes and place 
them in a network directory. To keep other networked computers constantly 
updated, configure the local computers to copy the updates from that directory. 
For detailed instructions on how to implement this updating scenario, see 
section 5.1.3 on p. 44. 
The updating process can be scheduled to run automatically using the cron 
utility (see section 5.1.1on p. 42) or started manually from the command line (see 
section 5.1.2 on p. 43). Starting the keepup2date component requires root user 
privileges. 

5.1.1. Automatic updating of the anti-virus 

and content filtration databases 

You can schedule regular automatic updates for the anti-virus and content 
filtration databases using the cron utility.  

 

Task: Configure the application to update automatically your anti-virus

should be selected from the updcfg.xml file by default. Only errors 
occurring in the component operation should be recorded in the system 
log. Keep a general log of all task starts. Output no information to the 
console. 

 

Solution: to perform the above task, do the following: 

1.  In the application configuration file, specify the following values for 

the parameters below: 

[updater.options] 

KeepSilent=true 

[updater.report] 

Append=true 

ReportLevel=1 

2.  Edit the file that sets the rules for the cron process (crontab –e) by 

entering the following string for the root user (or any other 
privileged user), add the following line:
