[QUOTE="David R, post: 638145, member: 62832"] This was the latest version, so yes, it would have been newer than your original test. That said, I still have my doubts about the configuration by Malware Managed team. As with any AV product, it's an ongoing process. There is a constant need for further development and fine tuning, so my guess would be that with internet connectivity, the agent is able to lookup an updated "cloud" signature or version and block those additional files it may have missed by the "offline" version. Yes, it works well offline and without signatures (like a legacy AV product would use), but even better while connected to the internet, which to your point in a previous point, is how most users would get malware in the first place...browsing around and clicking on malicious email attachments for Flash Player update pop ups, etc....
