There are ways to run a virus scan without an active internet connection or installing a full antivirus suite, one option is to run a scan from a bootable CD or USB stick. Even with an antivirus installed on the system, some malware can disable your internet connection and if it was somehow allowed to get through, you cannot go online until the issue is fixed. If you have a computer that isnвЂ™t connected to the internet, such as one with XP installed, itвЂ™s still useful to sometimes scan the computer to make sure nothing malicious has found its way onto the system.
