[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 879004, member: 83059"] By the time malware is executing and preventing the AV from connecting, that means that your AV already allowed the malware to run. The AV would’ve checked the malware against the cloud before allowing it to run. If after it starts running it manages to subvert your network, which is very much possible, then almost every layer of defense that you have has failed. Even if you had offline signatures, you would be hoping for a signature update which might not be delivered for the same reason you can’t do cloud lookups. I think offline signatures are more useful for corporate setups that are airgapped or on a non-Internet VLAN. [/QUOTE]
