Hi everyone, my Kaspersky only updates once a day, is that correct? It is configured to receive updates automatically, I find it strange, as other antiviruses update the database every 1 hour, can anyone help me?
 
Yes, it's normal. Kaspersky typically updates its database once a day to ensure optimal performance. However, you can manually update it if needed. The frequency of updates doesn't necessarily reflect the effectiveness of the antivirus.
 
Weird... change to this (Hourly):

Are you in a laptop? If so, disable:

Antiviruses that relies on database signatures are often updating more frequently to cover new malware, with Kaspersky if it faced a new malware that is not recognizes in the database, it will check it online using Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), so the frequency of updates will not affect your system, (unless you are offline).
 
Can't the button to create a new thread. only reply. One question as it is related. Will Kaspersky still work after their assets are completely shut down in the USA? I assume it would work since Kaspersky can get the definition somewhere.

Still not clear if K. users in the USA using a VPN will be able to get signatures and updates.

I was wondering the same thing, as I got the complementary gift from Kaspersky as well. The VPN work around is a option at least for using the KVRT.
