[QUOTE="mlnevese, post: 1102770, member: 36157"] That's exactly why I say the best antivirus depends on situation. I have seen in my work occasions where a person had to get files from their clients, often pdf files that can be infected, using an offline laptop, going to the client's place and copying from a USB drive for instance. Any security in that machine would often be updated sometime in the morning then only in the next day when he returned with the files. In this case any solution that strongly depends on internet connection is useless. He'd be much better with ESET, Avast or Bitdefender that have strong local signatures. Mostly I see people in this and other forums considering Internet connection will be available everywhere, but that's not the case in many places. Also most seem to dismiss other infection vectors like usb drives only considering infections from the net, which in many places, will not be the main source of infection. [/QUOTE]
