"So what happened in the days BEFORE the Internet"

It wasn't possible to remotely attack most computers, so it was far less of an issue. Also things like internet banking and Paypal didn't exist so there was typically far less to gain by doing so.

Updates where needed (usually data updates or software bug fixes rather than security fixes) were typically mailed monthly or less frequently on floppy disks!
