Hi, I have AVG 2015 (free edition). I hope it is OK to post in the AVG 2014 section as I couldn't find one for 2015 but I thought it would be the same answer anyway. Please could somebody tell me if it is OK to scan using AVG when not connected to the internet and if it will still work the same? I have been trying this over the last few weeks, one week scanning when offline and another week when online and there doesn't seem to be a difference. The time taken and number of items scanned is approximately the same and everything seems to work either way, but I just wanted to be sure that it wouldn't miss anything if the computer was offline when scanned. Thank you for any help. Lucy
