i recently purchased a new copy of Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. After installing and activating the trial version, i started updating KIS since it was showing the databases to be obsolete...after a couple of minutes when the updates reached 99%...it was stuck there for like 45 minutes with no progress and the update file size kept on increasing....i then decided 2 stop the update...rebooted the machine ....tried to update ....again the same issue....i then downloaded the 8.0.0.454 (i was using the 8.0.0.506 version) version and tried again...same issue for this scenario as well.......then i referred Jai Googleshwar (google... ;) )...found out from kaspersky forums that there many ppl with the same issue and different solution worked for different ppl....1)some said to disable the proxy server and update...2)some said to revert back to the default settings of the application when it was installed........i then again installed the 8.0.0.506 version after removing the old version....tried solution number 1)....no change...then tried solution number 2)....still no change....then i tried my own solution and implemented both solutions 1) and 2)....that is i reverted back to default settings and also disabled proxy server...and then tried and viola......it worked.....:S:D..phew...after a lot of head banging it finally worked....

so now...u guys must b wondering y i posted the issue if i myself solved it in the first place.....well the reason is...i have now customised the settings (that are different from the default settings) a bit. I just wanted to know whether there is anybody else who faced this problem and did they resolve it? if yes....then kindly tell how did u do it...i dont wanna go thru all the hoola hoop again....
 
Mate, initial set of updates can run well into 40-50MB and the update % does not accurately reflect the actual number of files downloaded. I suggest you leave the updater for a while.

P.S.: Change the location to Sri Lanka in the custom settings tab. That update server is bloody quick.

This happens often to me as well. Just leave it for sometime, or stop the updater and start again.

u have no idea the number of times i tried the method u mentioned.....:S...the issue was still there........
 
Three of my friends had the same issue after installing KIS 2009; while two of them somehow managed to sort out the issue (we have no idea how.. me and he together tried a variety of solutions available on the net), one got frustrated and just uninstalled it.

Like gforce has mentioned, the initial update for one of them was around 78MB. KIS intially showed that only around 6MB of updates were needed, but ultimately it downloaded 78 MB.. Imagine for how long the update would have been stuck at 99%.. :P

One reason we were told for this problem was if there was a problem in the system clock. Not sure how but you are supposed to check the clock and set it correctly I suppose. It didn't work for us though..
 
Till 99% it is smooth.

For going to 100% from 99% it takes approximately 20 minutes. That was the case with my laptop. So wait , who knows might be the same with you. :)
 
ur not giving it time - this is a long known issue of KIS. It does take alot of time at 99%. just leave it as such & stop any of ur downloads to allocate full bandwidth to it..
