How to manually update Eset NODS32 offline?

How to Manually Update Eset NOD32 Offline?

Everyone is now convinced that Eset NOD32 is the best anti-virus for Windows right now, but there's only one problem with it that makes people still consider Symantec Norton AntiVirus over it: you can't simply download virus definition update files from the web and update your NOD32 locally on a PC with no internet connection. At least, it's not that easy.

Actually, NOD32 does let you update the definitions if you have a CD or DVD with the updated files, but you can't just take the files from an existing, updated installation and put it in your NOD32 folder. You need to prepare the updated signatures using a third-party tool like n32upgen, burn it on to a CD or DVD and then make NOD32 update it. But if you don't have access to a PC with an updated copy of NOD32, then what do you do?

Simply follow these instructions to have an offline update method for your copy of NOD32 version 2.7. NOD32 v3.0 comes out in just a few more days, but I'll continue to put up 2.7-compatible updates for a while, so don't worry!
