You should be updating your Avast definitions while in normal mode.
Are you trying to update your Avast definitions while in Safe Mode?
The definitions change all the timeā¦as a matter of fact they change every time an update comes out which may be several times a day. Why would you want to save it to another directory?
If Iām not understanding you correctly, please clarify. Thank you.
There is no guarantee this works every time. Virus definitions may change e.g. some value in some of avast! INI files (it certainly happens) - and when you restore this ābacked upā definitions, your program will be in an inconsistent state and strange things may happen.
Generally, manually copying any files into avast! folder (such as this āmethodā) is not recommended, it may break up things. Besides, I donāt see any reason to do that - if you want to store a particular version of virus definitions, you can download the vpsupd.exe file.
