on the computer which is not connected to internet.

no... i mean , my avg downloads updates from the internet itself , Q1 where doe the downloaded virus definatin updates go ? Q2 How can i copy from my system to other system which has not been connected to any network. I want to do is mannually placing updates downloaded by my avg antivirus to someone else's pc.
Hi Devilsan, I understand what you want to do but I don't know how to do it. But what I do instead is keep the latest update files on a usb key. Then put the usb key in the non-networked pc, run avg update & choose folder update rather than internet update.
The update files for the AVG free edition are here for download:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/24/lng/us/tpl/v5 (set of .bin files)
slightly different url than for the paid edition, not sure if it makes any difference.
Not a lot of help in relation to your precise question I know but hope it might be of some use.
I'd like to know how to do it the way you're asking, too, if anyone has that info.
Awhile back when I was hunting for the above link, I did find a few newsgroup posts via google that mentioned the location of the update files that avg normally downloads itself. As I recall the anatomy of the free edition is markedly different from the paid edition. I never noted the info down because the download-from-website-onto-usb-key method seemed orders of magnitude easier, but the info is 'out there' somewhere

The files that AVG downloads when updating should be stored in x:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Grisoft\Avg7Data\ and it's sub-folders, avg7upd and upd7bin. Whether or not you can use these files to update another machine, I'm not sure.
