Offline Updating ?

Dave3d

Hello.

New to BitDefender, and new to these forums.

I am wondering if there is a way to update virus/spyware defs offline?

I just went through a nasty ordeal with my wifes computer (she clicks and opens everything).

Luckily, I had imaged the machine at least once a year, and there was no problems going back and making a clean image.

Of course, I am doing this offline.

I have installed the Total Security 2008.

I have scanned the computer.

But, the defs are from way last year sometime.

I would really like to be able to scan with the latest defs before hooking this machine up to my router.

I know Symantec can do offline updates.

Just wondering if BD can also.

And if it can, where do I get the def files?

TIA

Hello Reaper21.

Thanx for the info.

Yeah, I have been using BD on my gaming system (XP64) for a while now.

My wifes machine was crashing, and I had to do a total reinstall of the os (XP32).

I decided to ditch my old AV and use 1 more of the BD liscenses.

Have been happy so far.
