Running updates under a different user account
By default, the update procedure is run under your system account. However, Kaspersky Anti-Virus can update from a source for which you have no access rights (for example, from a network folder containing updates) or authorized proxy user credentials. You can run Kaspersky Anti-Virus updates on behalf of the user account that has such rights.
To start the update under a different user’s account:
- Open the application settings window.
- In the left part of the window, in the Update Center section, select the Update Settings component.
- Click the button in the section.
- In the window that opens, on the Run mode tab, in the section, check the
Run task as box. Specify the user name and password.
