    NOTE: It is recommended to have an Internet connection when using SymHelp and Symantec Power Eraser. This would assist in downloading the Latest Version of SymHelp and Latest Power Eraser Definitions when running Symantec Power Eraser. Incase, there is no Interent connection, Power Eraser would use the default definitions which are available with the SymHelp Tool.

    you can run the Symhelp offline, however to check the files againg Symantec reputation  server the tool need internet connectivtiy.

    To complete a scan that was run without connectivity to the Symantec Reputation database run SymHelp on a system with access to the Internet and from the Home page, in the menu at the top, choose File > Open Report and open the saved .sdbz.  Select the 'Threat Analysis' tab and then click the 'Complete Report' button.

    Symhelp will be runned without internet connectivity

    You can run a scan without connectivity to the Symantec Reputation database but not all of the features available in the Threat Analysis Scan will be available.

    Symhelp needs internet access if you want the reputation database

    Otherwise go with SERT or Norton power eraser

    The Symantec Endpoint Recovery Tool (SERT) is a bootable CD that can scan and remove malware from an infected computer. SERT is useful in situations where computers are too heavily infected for the Symantec Endpoint Protection client installed upon them to clean effectively. It is also necessary against specific threats which have the ability to completely hide from Windows, or that have techniques that manipulate Windows into protecting the malicious process against Symantec Endpoint Protection's scanning and remediation components
