Best Antivirus for which virus definitions can be downloaded

[ajayritik]

I know this question would have been asked several times, but I would like to know an Antivirus for which we can get definitions that can be downloaded. My friend doesn't have a net connection so can I download virus definitions from my PC and later have them installed on his machine. I remember long back I used to do the same with Norton and Mcafee. Please help!

Install: *www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html and then you have to search for definition @ softpedia. Example: *www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Avira-Antivir-Virus-Definition-File-Update-Download-82517.html

You can still download offline updates for Norton and McAfee.
McAfee - download updates from HERE

Norton - click HERE

More or less all AV has offline updates. Download it from scanwith.com

i checked norton internet security 2009. Many Many times better than the previous versions and really light on system. No requirement of any other application like adaware and spybot which i was using so far. If u intend to purchase it , the cost is too less somewhere rs 1500.
