Why can’t you update it, what error messages are you getting ?

For off-line systems you can do an avast! VPS Update - Manual Download, save the file to a CD or USB drive and transfer it to the off-line system and run it to update the VPS signatures file.

We will need more information to be able to help you:

  • Which OS are you using? Is it up to date?
  • What was the filename and path where the virus was found?
  • Do you use a firewall? Which one?
  • Do you have any other antivirus installed in your system?
  • Any other security programs that could interfere?
  • Any useful information into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Events, specially ‘Errors’.

To know how to post a screenshot, see http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=8982.0
You can use Gadwin PrintScreen to get a screenshot (http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/) or the free version of WinSnap 1.1.10 (http://www.filehippo.com/download_winsnap/?2173).

The file that is downloaded is an exe file, copy that to the actual system (doesn’t have to be avast folder) you want to update and double click it, that should install the update.

I personally haven’t tried this so I don’t know if you could simply plug in the usb flash drive and execute the exe file, in theory it should work as XP just sees it as another drive. Give it a try and let me know if it works without copying to a normal drive folder.

Run (execute, double click) it.
