How to update your free AVG Antivirus 8.0, 8.5 and 9 with latest virus definitions?
AVG Free edition only updates when you boot up your computer, what if your internet connection is not activated when you booted up? or a virus is spreading right now and you don’t have the latest update because you have been using your computer for 5 hours.

AVUS (Anti-Virus Update Service) is a small utility working in background, which does scheduled updates to the virus definition file of the well-known AVG Free Anti-Virus 8.5.


How does AVUS works? It executes a temporary batch file every certain amount of time invoking AVG Anti-Virus to do updates. Depending on your settings, the minimum ping time is 1 hour. A must have tool for those using AVG Free Edition!

Actually the statement that AVG Free updates only on startup is not correct and is misleading. AVG Free can also update itself regularly. Moreover, by downloading whole update files, you do not use the efficient differential mechanism and end up downloading huge files that also take much longer to apply.
