HI All, I've newly installed AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 on my Home PC with no internet connection.From my office pc downloaded the update files in pen drive but unable to install/update in Home PC. If anybody knows the resolution Kindly HELP.

A little curious though (with no internet connection) as to why you need updates, since theres little going on with that machine (unless you bring a lot of files home from work with you or someone else has access to the machine).
