      Dear all

      In regard of all above information.

      The systems was offline / no internet connection, when the deep scan was conducted.
      The offline scan is mediocre compared to the online scan.

      The Real-time protection was on when the laptop was online, and still on after the laptop went offline.

      1.
      Would trust, that the Real-time proctection would instantly stop anything malicous?

      2.
      Also because the Real-time proction scan uses the cloud / online scan?

      3.
      Or what other arguments do you have, that you trust that the laptop / system is clean?

      Thank you
