How to update Comodo AntiVirus database offline.

Are you tired of spending hours trying to get a successful download to upgrade your new install of Comodo AntiVirus or because you left your old system for many weeks offline and have to make a major update ?

Don't panic and keep your hair on your head!

Here is how to update the database manually:

1) Download the antivirus databases - "bases.cav"
2) Startup your Windows PC in "Safe Mode"
   During the restart, press and hold F8.
   You must press F8 before the Windows logo appears.
3) Open the folder
   C:\Program files\comodo\comodo internet security\scanners
4) Rename the file called "bases.cav" to "bases.old" (don't use the quotes!)
5) Copy the downloaded file in step 1 to the location in step 3
6) Shutdown and restart your PC in normal mode.
7) If all is working fine, now you can delete the "bases.old" in step 4
8) But if something goes wrong, do this:
   - repeat steps 2 and 3
   - delete bases.cav
   - rename bases.old back to bases.cav
   - reboot and you are back to the starting point again.
