Need to manually update Avira Personal Free Edition

Once I have downloaded the update files, how do I get Avira to use that update? The machine that I have loaded it onto has no internet connection.

 

Does this help?

Yes it does!! I downloaded the update from here earlier on, but the name was wrong(?!) It was ivdf_fusebundle_nt_en.zip - Avira didn't recognize it. This is the right one! :cool

 

Glad you got it sorted!

 

Well, I AM connected to the internet and had trouble updating Avira. The fusebundle thing is a horrible name for an update file. I was frankly afraid to allow it do download.

 

OK, so I've tried the referenced manual update procedure. It simply does not work. When I click to start the update and then select the vdf_fusebundle.zip file, nothing happens.

 

thanks to all for an amazing response - and great help!! This is the sort of resource that makes the web worthwhile . . .

Thanks again!

@ Halo: The file starting with "ivd" simply wouldn't work as it didn't match the "file type" description that appeared when the dialogue opened from "Manual Update". The Link that Solaris89 supplied took me to the right thing, and it worked 1time.

I am using the latest Avira on XP Sp2. I will be updating to Sp3 just now, got the updater on on this site. Have kept this machine totally isolated from the net, to ensure no problems - oh, well, "the best laid plans of mice and men. . . "

Thanks for the help - I'll be back!
