I am wondering how I might go about updating the definitions/database for a comp that doesn't have internet access. I have access to a comp with internet access, and can install the most recent version and update it with no problems. My problem is how do I transfer the updated definitions/database to a comp without internet access; to have it work just as well as if I had installed and updated the definitions/database on that comp without internet access?

Please forgive me if I am being a bit dumb but why would you want a firewall on a machine that has no internet access. Is it perhaps because of the annoying warnings that your computer shows all the time?

It's currently disconnected from the internet to remove viruses/trojans/backdoors/malwares/spyware/adwares installed on it.
The internet will be restored once the aforementioned are removed.
