ESET NOD32 Antivirus is one of the best antivirus program available, but when it comes into updates virus definitions, sometimes it becomes one of the worse especially after installing a new version or upgrading.
I experiencing myself recently, after installing NOD32 V4, updates major database signature failed over and over again for about 3 days. 3 days I surfed internet with NOD32 signature outdated, it's horrible!
So, what to do? I thought it's better update it manually, but where to get the virus signature files? After searching through internet, I've found the source files and here's how to update it manually (offline).You could use this updates if you don't have internet connections or somehow your license expired (I guess?)
We are going to use the virus definition database signature 3rd March 2009 released, it's okay to use a few days older files, after install it, the daily or minor automatic updates will become easier and normal again. Let's get started ...
1. Download the virus database signature files 20090303Easy isn't it, I will update the virus signature files next time if I'm getting a request for it or if new source files available.Download n32_vsdu_20090303_part1.rar
2. Extract part 1 on Desktop, four parts will automatically extract.
3. Right click on the extracted folder and choose properties.
4. Copy and paste the text links (refer below image) into Notepad.
5. And in Notepad, arrange the text like below image and "Your Name" is your computer name, leave it default.
6. Minimize the Notepad window, we are going to use it later. Double-click on NOD32 icon at Taskbar tray to open the main window.
7. At NOD32 main window, click on "setup" and then click "Enter entire advanced setup tree...".
8. At setup window, click "update".
9. At right side of setup window, click "Edit".
10. Now, copy from Notepad the link you create earlier and paste into "update server", click "Add", click "Ok" and "Ok" again.
11. Go to NOD32 main window, click update and click the update link at right side column.
12. The update takes only a seconds and you should update NOD32 successfully.
13. Go back to "update server", delete the link that you created by click on link once, click "Remove", click "Ok" and click "Ok" again. Now click "update" and update to the newest database signature.
