A good reason to do it this way is that if a virus is running on the system that is running the scan then it could potentially deny the Anti Virus scanner access to the files that contain the virus, thus making it impossible for the Anti Virus scanner to detect the virus. I would also recommend any of the live-boot CD/DVDs out there that can scan your system after booting from a known good CD/DVD/USB boot up. - Avira etc...4. You need to connect the hard drive with back up before you do an online scan. In some cases if friend has a AV system set to scan any connected USB disc on insertion, then your hard disc back up connected by USB may be scanned.
