[How To] Manually download virus definition file
Using a Windows XP on a daily basis will need a serious protection. I have to install an antivirus program. For me, a good free antivirus program on Windows Xp is Avira Antivir . But being free, the support is horrible and only one gateway to update the virus definition file. With sharing network over 40 people in the office, I will always get dsconnected when updating the virus definition file automatically.
So, I created a batch script (under ms-dos) to manually download my virus definition file every 11.00AM , using wget (for windows)
@echo off
cd \
d:
cd downloads
wget -m -nd http://dl.antivir.de/down/vdf/ivdf_fusebundle_nt_en.zip
name it fuse.bat and save it under your c:\ drive. You can use Task Scheduler to automatically download the file.
Have fun.
