According to statistics, newMalware varieties occur daily. And even more often! It is possible that at the very moment when you are reading these lines, a new type of malware is registered on the global network. We will not give an assessment to the individuals who turned the storehouse of human wisdom into a potentially dangerous place - let us leave it to the psychologists.
Protection of the software part of the computer
As you know, where demand arises, therethe offer does not keep you waiting long. Many companies offer various solutions to protect data from computer viruses. Some of them are very successful, such as software products from Kaspersky Lab, NOD32 from Eset, etc. These solutions are deservedly popular with users. Currently, complex software systems, the so-called “Internet Security” group, are particularly relevant. They are in the lineup of each manufacturer, although they may be called differently. For example, Dr.Web is Security Space, and NOD32 is Smart Security. However, protection works properly only if the program has the ability to update - from any source to receive updated versions of its own files and virus databases. Otherwise, a situation may arise when a new malicious code will be invisible to the detection algorithms of the antivirus. Since the topic is too extensive, today we will look at why Kaspersky Anti-Virus is not being updated.
Little known nuances
One of the reasons - the actions of the virus that madeChanges to the system hosts file. In Windows, you can access it by following the path c: WindowsSystem32driversetc. By making changes to its structure (edited by notepad), you can redefine the addresses of Internet resources or block access to the anti-virus servers. Result - Kaspersky is not updated. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the normal content of the hosts (for example, on Wikipedia) and edit it if necessary.
The next possible reason, due to which Kaspersky is not updated, is an unstable Internet connection.
В этом случае процесс просто прерывается на at some stage (for example, upon reaching 70%). The solution is simple: reapply the update. It is also worth noting that sometimes the indicator freezes at around 99% and nothing happens for a long time (sometimes up to five minutes). In this case, you should wait a little longer.
If Kaspersky is not updated, it is possible, insettings indicated work through a proxy. It is necessary to press the "Proxy-server" button in the parameters of the update source and enter the correct data (if any) or disable this mechanism (if not used).
Another common reason is the expiration of a key. This antivirus is not updated.
