Isn't this the wrong place to discuss this. But anyway using the update function in the software is a better option.

But assuming that you have a pi**ted copy I would like to say that the above links will work but the update you'll download from there won't help you. Because they won't install and will always show a error while installing. Thats the reason I shifted to Avast Home Edition.

Exactly! He wants to manually update the definitions becoz he doen't have internet connection.

It's implied dude. Almost all Antivirus softwares have automatic updates. There is no need to look for updates. Since he is asking for updates, I guessed that he doesn't have internet connection and hence looking for manula updates. Well, if he does have internet connection, there should be no problems regarding updates. Mcafee will do it automatically. It will never throw a warning that "Virus Database is outdated"! ;)
