I don't think you can make backup of antivirus updates.They need to be installed.U need to download offline setup of updates to install them again.

There is absolutely no need to take backup of antivirus updates. Updates will be included in the new versions of antivirus program. Just download the latest program and update the virus database. It won't take much time. Moreover updates are also released time-to-time for antivirus engines too.

what is a offline setup update??? how do i download it???

AVG updates are stored in following directory:

%appdata%\Grisoft\Avg7Data\upd7bin

Just goto this folder and copy all files in this folder. Now when u'll install AVG again in fresh XP, just right-click on AVG icon in system tray and select "Check for Updates". It'll ask the source, tell the folder location where u copied all updates. Thats it.

You can retain your AVG updates and can even use them to update on other systems. In the AVG folder, search for a 'bin' folder. All the files which were downloaded while online update of AVG will be stored there. Copy those files. Use them
