[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1082304, member: 19756"] It's not supposed to stop all infections. My point is that you're aware of this, which is why the definition of "good habits" keeps shifting. One source for your point is this: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www2.deloitte.com/my/en/pages/risk/articles/91-percent-of-all-cyber-attacks-begin-with-a-phishing-email-to-an-unexpected-victim.html[/URL] The first point is correct because "good habits" won't be enough. What happens if the infection comes from a non-questionable website? What happens if the infection comes from a reputable mobile app? What happens if the e-mail comes from a non-questionable company that unknowingly has been compromised? and so on. If you have a lot of time in your hands, then you can add more "good habits" by waiting things out, checking the site against another that checks site, using more scanners, and letting things run in a sandbox to see what happens. Which is what developers are adding to security programs because it turns out that "good habits" involve a lot of time in your hands. [/QUOTE]
