Hi,

I have a windows vista pc. I have mcafee 8.5 antivirus and I want to update that. So my question is how to update mcafee antivirus manually ?? If you can tell how to update it offline, I would be grateful. I don't want to use new mcafee antivirus 2009 because its heavy and consume more resources.

If your network connection is fully functional, the McAfee agent is the easiest way to install McAfee VirusScan. I recommend you don't not use this method, because you already have a virus and will not come online, or if not, such as your network connection is blocked, then the various components of McAfee on another computer download and USB memory stick on your computer. Then you can perform a manual installation.

To update mcafee antivirus manually, follow the below steps :

1. Download the file VirusScan Enterprise Manual Install Suite VUB. You, your Net ID and password to enter.
2. Unpack the file (unzip), you will see four folders

4. Go into the folder and run the file VSE870ML from SetupVSE oml install McAfee VirusScan Enterprise
5. Go into the folder and run the file ASEM870LALL from VSE87MAS to install McAfee Antispyware Plugin

If you are connected to the VUB network or Internet, you can use the Update Now feature the latest updates to win. Alternatively use the latest SuperDAT file from the VUB / ULB ftp site out. You need the latest SDAT ####. exe files.
