Why has the Antivirus question been closed?

I am refering to the question on antivirus software that doesn't run in the background.

I had a bounty of 50rep open on this question (which is not mine) because I felt it did not recieve enough attention. I rely mostly on browser plugins (like noscript) and the fact that I do not install anything from questionable sources, instead of any antivirus solution running permanently in the background. Whatever, I don't want to discuss my intentions here.

In my text on the bounty I further clarified what I personally was looking for "AV without any background service (maybe portable), not online, main purpose single file scan." (or similar)

What can be done (what can I do) to have the question reopened again? Should I edit the question or would it be better to write my own question? Somehow the later seems a bit stupid, because some answers given seemed very promising and I would have tried them out over the weekend.
