[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 833654, member: 75834"] When somebody quotes me, and then says all you need is AV + safe browsing habits, are they minding their own business? No, they’re not. I said it before and I’ll say it again: if you come knocking at my door, I answer. And if you’re trying to front me off with incorrect information, it’s going to backfire. I have a fair amount of experience in the area of PC security. I don’t have a lot of experience with servers (I'm still learning), and so that’s a subject where I shut up and listen. When it comes to this here, I generally know when information is false. And if you post false information, then I don’t need to know your background to know that you talk without knowing what you’re talking about. I don’t care if you’re a billionaire, with hundreds or thousands of people working under you. I doubt I’m one of them. On the Web, you are what you post, and nothing more. Respect is earned, not demanded. One more little nugget for you: why do you think antivirus products generally score 100% in on-demand scans, but not in zero-day detection? Why are signatures generally available [I]after[/I] the worst part of an outbreak is already over? Because they can’t get to everything before all the customers do. AV companies do share samples with each other, but they can't cover the whole web. Somebody has to get infected. Consider that the next time you accuse me of fear mongering. Common sense, folks!
