I could tell you to inspect the files in the following directory (folder):

• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy

And its sub-directory (sub-folders):

• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Dummies
• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Help
• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes
• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Languages
• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Plugins
• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Skins
• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates

And copy anything that has changed etc., etc.

You would find two changes in the C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy folder:

• advcheck.dll
• Tools.dll

No changes in C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Dummies folder.
Many changes in the C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes folder.
Etc.

***************

In my opinion, the easiest way to transfer all updates is to copy all the files and folders from the following directory from one system to the other:

• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy

Except the following two files:

• C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\unins000.dat
  C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\unins000.exe

The unins000.dat and unins000.exe are (or can be) unique to the system that Spybot-S&D is installed on.

Also note that the likelihood of a non-internet connected system being infected with malware is greatly reduced unless you are continually transferring files to that system. So the updating of the anti-malware programs can be adjusted accordingly.
