Updating to an unconnected machine

[scribe]

I have another computer, used by my children, which is not connected to the internet and so I cant update directly. Please, does anyone have any advice on how to do this from my updated version on my computer via a usb pen drive or CD or floppy?

Dear Avegelist!

Thanks for the speedy reply. I am downloading as I speak.

I did actually come across that page when I checked the site at first but left it before reading the whole thing because it was all about internet updating. I see now that the salient fact was buried in brackets at the end: "(e.g. if your computer does not have any Internet connection)".

One further question: Is this .exe only a virus definition update? What about program updates?

Many thanks

vpsupdate.exe is just the av database
setup(eng).exe is whole program, it works as an upgrader, if the program is already installed.
