[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 708667"] If the system is offline completely then I would get USB protection and maybe an Anti-Executable... You could just lock-down the system. I guess it really depends on how often other people other than yourself use the system. Most Anti-Virus products are most effective nowadays while there's an active internet connection to reach out to it's cloud network and ensure that the latest updates are applied all of the time, but if you're not connected to the internet then your attack vector is more-or-less related to infected removable media I guess. MCShield is commonly used in these situations as well as far as I am aware because it has a form of USB protection IIRC. [/QUOTE]
