Malware cannot be removed without internet access

Posted: 28 Feb 2010 10:20 PM PST

I just had an interesting experience, where a customer got a malware infection, and shortly before I arrive, their ISP decides to block their internet access.

So I get myself set up, to remove the infection via UBCD4win, and I cannot get spyware signature updates.

So I found myself in the situation where I couldn’t fix the problem without taking the computer back to the office (where I had a working internet connection), in order to remove a malware infection!

But then again, it shouldn’t be a big surprise… the internet is the main vehicle for spreading malware in the first place, so it follows that you need the same internet access to disinfect a PC.
