Gerard, PC is in a lab without any Internet connection and not connected to a LAN.
The PC periodically has software, data, and other files loaded on it via CD or other media. We would like to make sure that this stuff is scanned before being loaded. Yes, I could download the dat from an internet connected PC, put on a CD And then carry to standalone. Once uploaded to a directory on the standalone PC would I run freshclam to update the dat files?

Is this PC incapable of making Internet connections, or just not connected 24/7? You could download the 'dat' files onto another Internet connected PC and transfer them to unconnected one. If the PC is not connected to the Internet, and unless you have network traffic passing through the PC that has not been filtered by another PC on the network that is employing AV software, you probably have no real security issue anyway. Is this PC connected to a LAN? -- Gerard _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
