I have MCAFEE antivirus intalled in my PC and I have learnt that I must update it regularly to protect my computer from potentianl virus attak. However, I dont have any internect connection at home. How can I update my antivirus without internet? Is there any update pack available that I can download from one location and install the update pack at my home computer to update it?

Wait, so this machine isn't actually connected to the net yet you've paid for a virus scanner? Lol, man, they totally saw you coming didn't they? If you're not online then you don't need a virus scanner, uninstall it and just don't make such a stupid mistake again.
Seriously, how exactly did you think these viruses were going to get into your machine without a net connection? Did you think they were just going to float in through the window?

To do what you are talking about you would have to copy that computer definition file to a disk and then copy it over the out dated definition file on your home computer but I don't understand why you would worry about getting viruses if you are not on the internet, they aren't airborn ya know......

You cannot update without being on line.

1st, impossible to update
2nd, you have no connection, so you won't get any new viruses, and the old ones will be easy to delete

If you have no internet, then you have minimal risk of attack unless you share files with somebody else. duh!
