Solve : Trend micro Titanium 2013 Inquiry--Look See!?

Answer»

Does trend micro titanium 2013 require internet access to be installed and used out of the box for the time alloted(such as 1 year)? If so(BC I don't have a connection), what great antivirus options do I have for XP SP3?

What I've already got? Hiren's Boot Disk Versions(15.2) of Malwarebytes; Kaspersky Antirookit; ClamAntiVirus; Spybot S&D Combofix(not sure if it works right--gave me some kind out of date error and ask me if I wanted to use it in a limited fashion); Avira(runs from the command prompt, but stops before finishing talking about it does not find a .log file).

Here's why I asked the question: I don't have internet access, only need it to ensure that an old hard drive with old potential infections is healthy before putting into a newer machine(can't just format it. I would like to get some of the programs off it), and don't need to update anything. Besides operating system(XP SP3), my newer system at least or almost triples the requirements(P4 2.8GHz 80 GB--at least 40 GB free--3GB DDR-RAM). Please help me; I'm just looking for a great internet option that does not require internet access to use for SCANNING an old hard drive.I'd put that hard drive into a cheap EXTERNAL hard drive case and connect to a system that is online that already has a good antivirus running to tackle anything that tries to spread upon USB connection, and run a full drive scan on it externally from whereever you have internet since you have internet to report here unless you are doing so through a phone or tablet with internet access. Once the drive scanned clean using another COMPUTER with internet access, then you know that the drive is clean to be added as a slave on an offline system. If you have a friend with internet access and a good updated antivirus running maybe they will let you scan your drive in an external enclosure using there systems antivirus. * I'd make sure there system is up to date and scans clean first before attaching your drive. Once you know their system is clean and wont infect your drive then attach and scan your drive.

The only antivirus that I have worked with to update definitions for offline computers was with Norton AV in which you used to be able to download a definition file and update the definitions manually. But this was many years ago when many had dial-up around 2004.

All the antivirus's I work with today just connect over the WEB for updates, which is your current problem.
