@,
 
While Webroot is cloud based program, you could still use it on that system and it would still offer protection.
 
We used advanced heuristics and behavioral analysis to detect threats and effectively protect the system, so even if you are not connected, the heuristics would still function.
 
We would advise at least connecting once a week though to allow Webroot to receive program updates.
 
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you require further assistance.
 
Best Regards,
