      Solution for us is:
      Delete the file Storage520.dat *!!AND ALL OTHERS!!* located in the folder c:\Program Data\Kaspersky SDK and try a manual update.

    I'm the same anonymous poster listed at 8:25am today.

    Interestingly enough, i was getting ready to give Microsoft a call, it's 9:52am here, but all my servers are now able to downmload the Microsoft engine update that was failing.

    I see they were failing before yesterday, same Microsoft engine, but not as often as today, where all Exchange 2010 mailbox servers seemed to have gone mad trying to update the Microsoft antimalware engine.

    I'll keep an eye on the next hourly update schedule.

    I have been using Kaspersky security for a few years, and I'd recommend this anti-virus to all of you.
