  3. Is an anti-virus program ‘active’ if the computer is turned off and unplugged?

  1. Yes
  2. No
  3. No
  4. An anti-virus is always active running real-time in the background when the computer is on (assuming one is installed). The internet connection is just needed for the virus database updates and cloud features.
