[QUOTE="danb, post: 929503, member: 62850"] A few people mentioned that we cannot expect security software to be perfect, and that basically allow-by-default is designed to fail. This is absolutely true, and everyone working in cybersecurity and on security forums understand this. I like mosquito analogy by [USER=61892]@TairikuOkami[/USER], I usually would would say "well, you get a flu shot but that does not mean you are not going to catch the flu". But ask anyone who has worked directly with a massive arrary of end users (especially for 21 years ;)) how many times they have heard the question (verbatim) "I have antivirus software, how did I get a virus?". I wonder how average and novice users would respond to this question. [/QUOTE]
