[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 742772, member: 61892"] If the software in question does not have an access to the internet, like it is blocked in the firewall, not so much. It could still be exploited by a malware downloaded via a browser, but it is unlikely. Not to mention, the less known software, the less likely it will be exploited. On the contrary, a lot of software works perfectly fine, but it starts crashing or causing bugs, because of new features, like CCleaner. [/QUOTE]
