[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 709348, member: 37647"] Thanks, guys. Shadow Defender and similar solutions don't fit the needs of this computer, because the kids store music, pics, and school projects on it. So they don't want all of that to vanish at reboot. But I do take a system image from time to time. Traditional AV is not totally worthless, because the computer is not exposed to zero-days due to lack of internet access. Avast has an offline updater, so it is better than nothing, IMO. If another infection occurs, I will have to install a default/deny solution. But [USER=56349]@Lockdown[/USER]'s comment that this computer could spread infection to my other computers is an important point. I didn't think about that. duh! [/QUOTE]
