I can not successfully update Kaspersky Antivirus 2012.
The update process is painfully slow, it starts OK but stops at 39%.
My internet connection is OK because my browser and download manager are working properly.
Has anyone dealt with this issue?
Please help.Â
You have to download the antivirus database signatures with the latest threats. Once you have a – copy the entire database and update the computer without an Internet Connection.
First, you need a computer running Kaspersky Antivirus with a working Internet Connection. Once you have that, create a new folder on the computer running Kaspersky Antivirus:
Open Kaspersky Antivirus main interface.
First, locate the Update section ( the earth icon ). Second, check the copy updates to folder feature and browse to the folder that you`ve created, then Click on “Apply“ and “OK“ and this is it. Create settings and access this section.
After that  hit browse and locate the folder that you just created.
Finally choose run Update.
If everything is working well, you should see in the window , the database is being updated – updating databases and the application.

Hey Davis
Sometimes an update of Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 anti-virus databases is terminated and Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 informs that the databases need to be updated.
To resolve the situation, do the following:
Step 1. Download a zip-archive with the latest updates of anti-virus databases:Â http://utils.kaspersky.com/updater/KLUpdater.zip?_ga=2.79887440.633753936.1521282951-1872713881.1521282951
