[QUOTE="Arequire, post: 1057674, member: 59283"] Sure. I'm not suggesting anyone's invulnerable, but behaviour contributes enormously to one's exposure. Those who adhere to safe browsing habits and best security practices arguably require less stringent security measures. I do think AV vendors mislead consumers, in that they make exaggerated claims about their ability to protect users from threats. Ultimately it's up to consumers to decide whether the cost is worth the increased/perception of increased protection (regardless of whether their decision is their own or influenced by a vendor's marketing). It can but I very rarely hear about AVs getting exploited outside of vulnerability research and corporate environments. Plus Defender has be successfully exploited previously too. [/QUOTE]
