Virus protection after formatting pc

system · 2017-05-20T01:56:54.000Z

Hi,
I need to format my PC and reinstall windows 7 from scratch. I was wondering if I would be vulnerable when I connect the PC to the internet for the first time to start updating the system and the virus definitions…
In other words, is there a way to download the updates before formatting, save the files, and update everithing offline before connecting to the internet?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi iwakun, welcome to to forum

To prepare reinstalling Windows, you can download :

The Avast Offline Installer from this topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=201729.0
The most recently Offline VPS updates from https://www.avast.com/download-update
