[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 863040"] Its true and it's a good lesson that no matter how good the AV program is, it will fail at some point. It's the reason why you still need to practice security 101. You need ensure you have backups of your data, don't click on ad's, or open every email attachment you get, etc... A security program is only one part of your over all security, your habits are just as important. Problem is people use x product that constantly scores well on tests, assuming that they will never get infected because AV-Comparatives said this product scored 100% on a test. At the end of the day security programs are software and like every other piece of software out there, they too are prone to having bugs and security flaws. Travis Ormandy from Google's Project Zero has proved this over and over. Sadly some will some how blame MS for this, because 3rd party programs are perfect, they never have problems, it's all MS fault for poor documentation, blah, blah, blah. Software is software and no matter how good the programmers are, they are human and mistakes can happen. Especially when programming for companies is more about, "we have to get this out, just make it work enough, we can fix bugs later." [/QUOTE]
