  1. @adiwan Reminds me of a story, now the details have been lost to time but I distinctly remember that somehow a professional looking "anti-anti virus" sign being made for our local version of a computer convention.

    "128 of the best selected virusses to nuke down your pesky anti-virus" "Pester your system with Sircam, Nimda, Klez, Sapphire, Gaybird, NuclearRAT, Sasser, Blaster, and all our other pattented 'lifesavers'" ( You may have noticed that those are mostly famous virusses from the first half of the 2000's )

    Some people actually inquired for our 'product' on the day of the convention. One of them actually wanted to use it because he would be fired sooner or later.

    Morale of the story is... Virus Killers are snakeoil these days, attacks are most likely to come from within. Like BadUSB, No AntiVirus gonna protect you from an angry employee.

    ... Or dumb mother ? Idunno.
