Anti-virus is a Poor Substitute for Common Sense — Krebs on Security

via Anti-virus is a Poor Substitute for Common Sense — Krebs on Security.

I have seen this for years.

Symantec and McAfee offer different opinions but then they make billions of dollars while not keeping you safe.

A decent anti-virus is necessary.  The bloated mega-security suites do not catch the malware, these suites slow down your computers and they cost too much.

I attribute the safety and reliability of my work network to shared responsibility.  I do the most I can do to keep the network safe.  My co-workers’ contribution is as important.  If there are questions we talk.

That’s common sense.
