Brief overview of the application
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaspersky Update Utility is the application designed for downloading updates of selected Kaspersky Lab applications from the specified update source. The application allows saving updates in a local or network folder, from which they can be distributed on computers without Internet access. Kaspersky Update Utility establishes connection to an update source according to the specified settings and checks if any updates for the selected applications are available. If any updates for the selected applications are available, 
Kaspersky Update Utility downloads them into the selected folder. After the download, the application checks the updates for integrity. Results of the application's operation are logged in a report.
When running the utility for the first time it is recommended to select the minimum possible number of products (not more than two) to speed up update download.

Attention! Updating applications by means of Kaspersky Update Utility does not ensure that your computer is always up-to-date, because updates are not distributed on your computers at the same moment when they are released.

Kaspersky Update Utility allows:
	* Downloading updates of databases and software modules for selected Kaspersky Lab applications.
	* Adjusting the update settings by means of a configuration file and graphic interface.
	* Starting the update process manually.
	* Starting the update upon a schedule.
