[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 89360, post: 918340"] By offline scanning, I understand removing malware from a heavily infected system. If your aim is to work always offline, no product will actually work, as they all need updates/cloud connection or both. Even behavioural blocking relies on cloud or at least local profiles that need to be updated. So for malware removal, might be best to do a Rescue USB. There are plenty of products that offer these. If your aim is to be offline for reason unknown, you need a product with portable definitions so at least you can update them from time to time. Bitdefender and Avast/AVG offer standalone updaters (others may be doing it too). [/QUOTE]
