I don't think it can be updated while dis-connected from the internet.
 Also, some anti-malware apps need to download the installation files in the actuall installer.When you say anti-malware...do you mean anti-virus or spyware? David.

Oh so you mean download the update files from another computer then transfer them to the computer you are talking about and then update? Yeah, that should be possible, I think I have done that with AVG 7.5.

Is this an actual situation you are in DaChew, or is it just in case it happens? |
