I have three PCs at home (Desktop, laptop and my wife’s laptop).
We also have a very restrictive broadband bandwidth, so I’m always trying to cut down on unnecessary downloads, and downloading the same virus d/b update three times seems profligate.
Is there any way of downloading the updates once and then using the updated system as the source of updates for the other two PCs?
Well the auto update function for the VPS (signatures) is incremental and is counted in the KBs rather than MBs so if say 25KB-100KB average (and 100KB being high) is an issue with your bandwidth your in trouble.
The avast updates are very light as they too with millions of users don’t want a huge bandwidth hit either so the incremental updates aren’t that big at all.
But you can’t download an incremental update and apply it to the other systems, because that incremental update is dependant on what the current version is for a specific machine.
You could download the complete VPS file and apply that to the other systems, but that would be a greater download MBs just for the one download compared to 25-100KB X 3.
I’ll probably keep all three systems in lockstep, so whatever I do to one, I’ll also do to the other three.
Nevertheless, as you suggest, the small update size probably makes worrying unnecessary.

Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
Clean your temporary files.
Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
