How To: Update NOD32 offline

Aug 6, 2009


In this tutorial I will tell you how you can update your NOD32 offline (without any internet connection). First of all, you need a PC with NOD32 installed in it, and the one which is up to date (for e.g. your friend PC who always update his NOD32). In that PC, go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESET. (This path is hidden, to view this path go to Folder options > View > click on Show hidden files and uncheck Hide protected system files)

Now copy the folder updfiles to any storage medium either pen drive or CD. Than go to the target machine and go to the same path and replace the folder updfiles with the one in the pen drive or CD.

So this is all done, you have just updated your NOD32, Now you have to do a final step just open NOD32 from, and click on "Update virus signature database". And, you're done.

So for those who have got unlicensed NOD32, they can update there NOD32 by using this method, though I not recommend it, as you can buy the Original NOD32 at a very minimal rates.

NOTE: For Windows Vista and Windows 7, we can find updfiles at C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus\Updfiles
