    Stay away from those usb drives which are shared between friends to move the stuff around, don't click on any .exe until you are very clear about what it is.

    yea you need them even if you don't use internet. Pen drive virus are the latest ones causing lots of problems.

    I would advise on still getting some sort of AV as viruses can be easily transferred, despite not being online.

    Dear Friend,

    All antivirus products are good,but they have their own limit.

    so u have to be alert whenever u r surfing.Think at one time before download anything from any website.

    Even if you don't use internet on your PC, there could be a virus from other sources like floppy drives, USB etc. So I consider anti virus as a must for every PC.
