Hi, I have spybot search and destroy - 2.4 (free edition). Please could somebody tell me if it is OK to do the system scan when not connected to the internet and if it will still work the same? I have been trying this over the last few weeks, one week scanning when offline and another week when online and there doesn't seem to be a difference. The time taken is approximately the same and everything seems to work either way but I just wanted to be sure that it wouldn't miss anything if the computer was offline when scanned. Thank you for any help. Lucy
