Update Avira AntiVir Rescue System (to new version)
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 10:28 am
I made a tutorial yesterday about fixing up the AntiVir Rescue System already on the UBCD, but what I really wanted was the latest version. If you ONLY want to update the VDF files and/or fix the DEMO MODE error, please see my tutorial here.
NOTE: This tutorial is meant for flash drives and would have to be slightly modified for CD.
Here is the tutorial for outfitting your UBCD with the latest AntiVir Rescue System.
1. Download a copy of the AntiVir Rescue System (.iso version) - Direct Link
2. Extract the files to a folder where you can easily access them (using i.e. WinRAR)
3. Go to your flash drive and delete the folders "antivir" and "ubcd/boot/antivir"
4. Go into the extracted antivir iso folder and copy "antivir" and "system" over to the root folder of your flash drive
5. Go to "ubcd/boot/" and create a folder called "antivir"
6. Copy boot.cat, initrd.gz, isolinux.cfg, vmlinuz, and welcome.msg to "ubcd/boot/antivir"
7. Rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg (OR change "ubcd/menus/syslinux/others.cfg" to reflect new cfg name)
8. Boot into UBCD on a computer to see if it works!
Additional Note: If you get "Self Check Failed," it means you didn't follow the tutorial closely enough and you messed something up.
You can update the virus definitions by going to http://www.avira.com/en/support-vdf-update-info and selecting "Download VDF (multiple VDF)". You can then drop the new .vdf files into "antivir" on the root of your flash drive.
