Is it Safe to Leave Data on So Kaspersky Premium on Android can Automatically Update the Databases?

[always_working]

Have the app set to scan daily and update databases automatically but generally don't like to leave data on and don't connect via WIFI.

Is it advisable to leave the data on so the app can update or is it best practice to turn the data on and update daily (and then turn data off again)?

Is there a best approach?

Any insight is appreciated!

If you do not have wifi and mostly use 4g/5g data

I recommend you leave data on

because Kaspersky now use light weight definitions and need KSN connected all time. You dont have every 2 hours a new definitions update. Old days never come back......?

Thanks for your reply.  I'm trying not to think about times being easier and adapting instead ;]

Doesn't it introduce new security risks, though, to always leave data on?

always having internet makes your AV always connect to cloud server which helps fight virus
