RE: User who doesn't like logging off / shutting down

No, that's not the only way a threat is eliminated before being activated. After signatures are updated, the realtime scanner will sound off as soon as something or someone tries to activate or copy it. If nothing tries to activate it or copy it then there's no harm. It's just occupying disk s
