(if you are following the instruction in Cb Defense: How To Set Up A Local Mirror for AV Signature Updates , the "idx" folder should be in the same folder of the extracted files from the downloaded zip file)
3. You should see "module-vdf.info" in "idx" folder, open it, and you should find the VDF information like release
   • Date of the latest update, for example:

<VdfDate value="20180709_0000"/>

• Version of the latest update, for example:

<VERSION value="8.14.61.54"/>

Additional Notes

The "module-vdf.info" file will be updated every time run the command to execute "do_update.bat", and the latest VDF information will also be updated.
