Heh yeh I know what's OS, gweedo got me right Tongue

Cause then you know for certain it has no virus or malware, since it has never touched the internet and can't steal your bitcoins.

But since the offline machine will never go online, what harm can a virus do? It can't send my bitcoins to anyone since the computer is not connected to internet.

Is it because viruses in general, viruses that can fuck up your computer in general? I realize that any sort of a virus poses a threat to a computer, connected to internet or not. But if a computer will never again go online, can a virus pose a threat to the bitcoins? A virus can fuck up a computer but if you have backuped your wallet, are your coins in danger?

Many known and unknown viruses can spread over networks and USB sticks too, and more than likely any other method of transferring data from A to B
