Guys... I'm looking for an anti-virus which can be updated without going online.
I'm talking about some situation where.. for example.. we are in college where there is no internet connection available for our PC (especially desktop user). Is there any type of anti-virus that doesn't require me to go online to update it?? Maybe just go to CC and download the definition.. then patch/install it when I'm back to my PC?? Or perhaps a portable anti-virus which can be stored in portable drive (which I doubt even existed  ) |

Sophos Anti Virus. Update can just download from Internet and size is as small as 10KB per update. Normal bulk update is around 500KB and update for each pattern is around 10KB only. Just download it and put in Sophos's folder, that's it...
If interested, PM me for details. Thanks. |

Try bitdefender. You can simple download their virus definition at their website. Anyway almost all av allow you to download their updates only, no need to go online.

I used BitDefender once... but due to the time it takes for me to execute almost everything in my PC (2 to 5 second lag for each programme... ) I change to Kaspersky back...

Resource hunger... dunno la new version still resource hunger or not...I will try Sophos and Avast first see how... |
