[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 879007, member: 83059"] I agree that’s an issue, but I don’t think less reliance on cloud signatures makes a big difference for that kind of threat. At the end of the day, once an AV, online or offline, has permitted a malicious script to run, that script could have disabled networking and prevent the AV from getting updates. (BTW not just scripts. You can easily package a trojan that acts like a VPN and just bundles OpenVPN with a profile that blocks AV communications. As long as you can trick the user into installing it, I've never seen an AV smart enough to detect that it's about to get isolated from the internet) [/QUOTE]
