Hi folks, To avoid a forced upgrade to version 20.x.x.x(x) inspite of having done the setting to “Do automatically upgrade to a newer version” do the fellowing few easy steps: Download the Kaspersky Update Utility 3.0 from https://support.kaspersky.com/de/updater3 (Yeah it’s mainly written for enterprise use - but it works great even for privateers). Unpack the zip archive to location you want. Start the exe “UpdateUtility-Gui.exe”. Define the storage folder where downloaded files are being stored. Choose your approriate version of KAV/KIS/KTS you need. Choose a time schedule when the updater should get signatures and patches for your choosen version. Uninstall the v 20.x.x.x.x like discriped here: https://support.kaspersky.com/14382 Open Settings, heading forward to #”Expanded” - “Update” - “Adjust update sources”. klick “Add”. Point to the created folder fromstep 4. “Deactivate” the entry “Kaspersky-Lab-Update-Server” (this avoids direct connection of the program and getting again the update force). Put the newly added entry on top of list. All done. At last start the update utility once manually to fill your new personal repository. Your KAV/KIS/KTS will now look to this location (as long as it exists) and get the new signatures but NOT get the force upgrade. Have fun & cu S. Müller
