Hi Tempting,
you can open NAV and click on Live Update.
I have my computer set up to prompt for all down loads.
Then I specify where to save the download.
Once it is down loaded I scan it with AV then click on Run.

I often wondered about updating. I use Norton AV and wondered if there was
a way to manually download AV definitions to a hard copy if you were say
planning on reformatting your drive? I know it can be down with Windows
updates but, wondered about with say the AV sites, Adaware definitions etc.
Anyone know?

I would be very surprised to learn that an AV site had infected files
available for download, so I suspect your infection came through from a
different site while you were downloading the updates. I suspect that may
have happened because the firewall was configured to either allow the site
access to your computer or leave a port open. It is also possible
something
else on your computer was already infected and it called for the download
of
the virus.
When downloading files to do a clean install it is always a good idea to
either use a clean updated computer to collect the downloads and updates or
at least use a clean updated computer to scan them before you install on
the clean hard drive.
