[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 878996, member: 83059"] Why does it really matter though? Offline signatures/scanning is something most people do not have to care about. Windows Defender, in particular, has extremely poor performance offline. I have never seen a case where Kaspersky fails to detect something simply because the signatures need updating -- they just use KSN detections to cover emerging threats. Even in a detection engine with good offline scanning, you still lose out on cloud based reputation lookups. I've not seen a single AV solution that has an offline cache of that. [/QUOTE]
