If I'm right, you can download the files from the Zone Labs website. Once saved, you can update using a file. Also, this might just be my morning confusion, but why do you need antivirus protection on your home computer if it has no internet access?

A system that's not on a network can still be infected via CD, diskette or other foreign media.

Possible, but very unlikely. Depends who it comes from.

Unlikely? I regularly see infected machines that are not network connected. Perhaps Little Johnny has brought home a copied Care Bears CD from school, or Big Johnny has brought the latest Shoot bin Laden game via floppy into the office.
The difference is that the machines that I see (Non business anyway) that are connected to the internet are almost certainly infected in some way.

If Johnny would have obtained this CD legally, there would be no porblems.  ;)

Unless of course it was a SonyBMG music CD.  >:(

I'm not so sure what that is... A burnt CD?

One of Sony's titles that incorporated a rootkit. Google for that story if you haven't heard it.
