Create Kaspersky Update Server Mirror for Offline

One annoying thing about Kaspersky product is after installing, it takes a very long time to fully update the program modules and bases files. Currently if you do a fresh installation of the latest version of Kaspersky 8.0.0.506, you’ll still need to download around 18MB. It’s not big but the problem is Kaspersky update servers are painfully slow… max ppls internet speed is crawling like a snail,it's hard to get to update Kaspersky to use the latest program modules and bases. It’s pointless having one of the best antivirus installed on the computer but without updating it.


Kaspersky has came up with a very useful official tool that is able to create a “mirror” of the Kaspersky Lab’s update servers.we can also use this if you have a few Kaspersky product installed in our network and we want all of the computers to update locally instead of individually downloading from Kaspersky and wasting our bandwidth..

Kaspersky Updater and is able to automatically download latest anti-virus bases and application program modules for all Kaspersky applications.I save the downloaded files in my USB flash drive, install Kaspersky software, and configure it to grab the updates from my USB flash drive.

Here are the steps on how to use Kaspersky Updater:

• Download the latest version of Kaspersky Updater GUI[http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=94] from official Kaspersky forum. You will need to sign up in order to download.download v2.1.0.15 or 16 Beta because it has Schedule feature.
