ACS Avira Update Backup Creator

ACS Avira Update Backup Creator aims to help protect your computer by providing a simple way to update the virus definitions of your Avira security software and create backups of the latest signatures. This can help you avoid the process of downloading the definitions again in case of a Windows re-installation.

Avira is one of the most popular security solution manufacturers and automatic updates is one of the features of its applications, since their purpose is to make sure that your PC is constantly protected against all kinds of threats.

It is advisable to allow the antivirus to handle the definition update process on its own, but there are situations when you might need to perform a manual update, such as when you want to have an Avira product up-to-date on a PC that is not connected to the Internet.

ACS Avira Update Backup Creator is suitable for such circumstances, since it helps you create backups of the virus signature files and use them at a later point.

Avira allows the manual update of the definition files from its website and the same result can be obtained by grabbing the latest version of the Avira Antivir Virus Definition File Update, which can serve as a local backup copy of the signatures.

ACS Avira Update Backup Creator automatically detects the Avira product installed on your system, extracts all the definition information from its installation location and generates a ZIP archive containing all the update files. Even so, you will have to repeat this procedure on a daily basis, that is if you want your definition backup to be up-to-date at all times.

ACS Avira Update Backup Creator can prove useful for creating definition backups of Avira products. However, it is recommended that you allow the automatic update function active in your Avira software and only perform a manual update in exceptional situations.
