If we use internet then it is must to update AV twice or thrice in a week. If we do not do that then it becomes harmful for our PC. if we update continuous then it takes a few time to be update.

Hi punmsharma, Sure I do! In fact, that is the very first thing I do when my computer boots up.

My AVG automatically updates and scans my Pc daily. Once a week I run Adware, and Ccleaner because my old computer had a virus in it once and it cost me a fortune to have someone sort it out and I was lucky it could be sorted out at all, consequently I am a little paranoid now and overprotective of my computer.

I also use avast and I keep it set to automatically update virus database. I don't let any other software auto-update because one: it slows down the computer and it is most inconvenient for something to start updating while you are trying to do something else and two: I always like to oversee any download to my computer. The only exception is windows. I will let windows xp auto-update because I trust this application and it is often essential to have those updates as soon as possible. I find that avast updates it's virus database every two or three days.

In the starting i used to update daily and then it gradually reduced to 2-3 day per week and now weekly once i am updating.. I know it is important to update it daily but very boring to do it daily and i cannot remember also..

Just set your settings to auto update. That's what I do, it saves you the trouble and updates more than once a day. Which should make your computer extremely safe to use online.

Not agree with u, It depend on how u use your computer, like my brother who only suft popular website/blog and game review site, so he dont need update daily. like me who always suft make money blog, warez site, download site,install various game, software,beta software, not populor software then i really need to update daily(sometime 2-3 time per day)
