If the machine is never hooked up to the Internet, there is less chance of it getting infected.

However, that does not guarantee the situation at all.

I've had to respond to more than one instance of clients' computers that still managed to get infected, due to things like rogue memory sticks, detachable hard drives and the likes.

Awhile back, all the fellow did was copy some Audio Tracks from another guy onto his "DAW which was never connected to the net" in order to participate in an online compilation and add his tracks to it. The virus was embedded in one of the tracks included, which turned out to be an internet download done on another entirely different machine. Traced to one of those almost illegal file sharing scheme sites. One of 'em was in the practice of obtaining "free" beatz that way.


In each instance, these folks just couldn't understand how their system got infected, for the most part, too.
