What is a good antivirus/malware removal tool for offline. I get computers
that are soo infected that I dont want to have them online, but most AV
programs require one to be online to update. What is a good tool that could
be carried on a thumb drive or such.
many thanks

You'll need to install it on the machine in question, ( I believe), but I
would think you could carry around the download of Malwarebytes on a flash
drive. I know it works while offline.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.40

ImgBurn is a lightweight ISO image burner, it will convert the iso to a
