[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1086672"] I wouldn't call it a targeted anti virus as much as it comes default with the operating system and many windows users would be using it. Creating malware to try and bypass windows security as whole, yes this certainly happens. Although attention needs redirected to the method or route, if you will, which is initiated most of the time by social engineering. A good deal of today's problems rely heavily on poor habits and the uninformed. Even above in the example I posted asking Gemini, it is stated "if you surf HIGH RISK websites, or go to platforms that are targeted like gaming, you may want to consider something more then default security. This again is on the user and their habits. Of course this applies to any security you use, as it will mostly likely fail if you think it will save you from yourself and you act invincible with it.
