Man. there is difference between Behavioral Blocking and Blocking using signatures.
Anyway I don't wanna Argue with you anymore. You stick to your logic and sleep tight.
but here is few ways I get offline sometimes.
1. I play lots of multiplayer game and join LAN tournaments. My friends and Me get together with Laptop and play on LAN.
2. Sometimes I go to my friends house to collect movies.
3. Sometimes my internet is down.
4. I travel a lot
Also in my home I have 5 systems. Out of which only two are connected to Internet. And google for how many of users actually have internet connection. may be that will help you better.
I will request Admins to Lock this topic as this is getting offtopic.

How are you gonna get infected if you are in a LAN party? If you are your friends house you cannot connect to his/her wifi? There are free wifi hot spots everywhere. You can also turn any smart phone into a mobile hot spot.
Bottom line again. Just because you run cloud protection does not mean you do not have offline protection.

I can tell you that qihoo does not have a cache of recent files detected by the cloud, you can easily see that, for example try it wil a malware: disable bitdefender, then let the cloud catch the malware, turn off the internet, launch the file.... and the file will run with no problems. I am agree that others products like webroot or panda create a cache of detected files, because in the same scenario as mentioned before, they would catch the malware in offline mode (of course if had to be detected before by the cloud, to create a cache).
No AV is perfect, at least for me i have used qihoo for 3 months and no FP was seen during this period. Don't judge programs by your situation. I can accurately tell you that trend micro house call does really have a lot of FP (for example)
Qihoo does have a protection for USB, if an .exe .dll etc, file is tried to be executed a pop up will ask you if you want to run it or no, as you said immunized usb only prevent the autorun file of been executed, there are others methods to infect your pc without autorun file
At least me as a student, not all the file i am online, thats why i dont rely on programs that uses signatures to protect your pc, i like soft that have behaviour blocker that much better. Eset is extremely good at detection rates, but take out the signatures, and eset would not prevent your pc of been infected. At least in my tests HIPS mode, heuristic scanner etc... all of them have failed to protect the VM of been infected. Yes, you can make it work with custom config. but for normal users who doesnt understand what at least HIPS means, it would be a headache for them, as general users dont play with the programs config in general

Almost the same detection rate. most detections come from qihoo. bitdefender and avira engine is just marketing.

Are you sure? Coz i thought it worked completely in the cloud?
How it does perform on an offline system, that's not connected to internet?

No it is not the same, if you make an offline scan you would see that the detection rate is a quiet low compared to the paid version of bitdefender. Yes almost all the detections come from qihoo but remember that this product sponsor Qihoo engine not bit or avira. with out internet qihoo does nothing, just beginning into the fact that it doesnt have all the signatures from bitdefender
Cloud av local signatures have a smaller size, much smaller. without the cloud the av is almost usless and detect not much with the local signatures. and this 99% is just not true. i have much friends they working on laptops quit often without internet for studium and other things and they using much usb, extern hdds. sure it is there own fault if they plugin a usb or any other device. but hey, they just dont know it, so dont blame humans if they dont even know they can get infected pc/laptop true usb sticks or others thinks.
for offline system u need bd,avira up2date. qihoo inhous engines working much on the cloud system and need internet to detect something.

but remember that in this case qihoo does not make a "cache" of detected files, so there is no protection from the cloud except from the incomple database from bit or avira
