Do we actually need so many security programs?

[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 774842, member: 32260"] I am not a fanboy of KIS (do not use it), but it is worth paying. It has a very good security design and capabilities. The Application Control module is more like Applocker than SRP. I tested KIS only one day and only against a narrow spectrum of scripts. But, it seems that even with such a good AV, a lot can to be done to improve the dynamic script detection. For the most of home users, regardless of adopted AV, the best solution will be simply blocking Windows script execution. The downside of doing it via something like Application Control or Applocker, is that all script execution will be blocked (the blocked script interpreters cannot work). If the user has a hardware/software that uses particular script, then more usable and flexible would be blocking the script execution via SRP solutions, which allow whitelisting of particular scripts.
