[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1115957, member: 114717"] They are not very effective beyond the various types of detection by signature or patterns. They can be made more effective but that is dependent upon the knowledge and skill of the individual(s) deploying, configuring, and using (the end user) the security software. Wow. People (users) actually expected to know something and handle security issues properly. Now that is too much to expect from people. None of the antivirus would survive the tests. The data produced from such tests would easily convince anybody that free or paid - consumer or enterprise - antivirus and "suites" are not effective on a compromised system or network. If they were effective then you would not read about the latest breach in the daily cybersecurity news. Only tightly-locked down, rigorously managed systems provide reliable robust security and the greatest probability of breaking the kill chain. Antivirus is only one tiny part of that kind of security. Security is not software. It is a process. [/QUOTE]
