A firewall has nothing to do with Antivirus software, so, you are not
protected against malware if you have a firewall.
I don't know of any antivirus software that comes on media that contains
current protection updates, they all require a connection and lots of
file size to get you fully protected.
If you and get to BB speed this is painless, if not, I don't see that
you have much choice, you will have to just start it and let it run
overnight.
