Traditional AV is long, long dead. Don't sell your customers snake oil.

Heuristic scanning has been absolute crap for a long time - last report I saw showed a roughly 5% detection success rate.
I suggest checking out some of the more modern + next gen AV vendors. For further reading on this, /r/MSP had a brief but enlightening discussion on this recently. https://www.reddit.com/r/msp/comments/63e4gt/next_gen_antivirus_solutions/ - Josh On Apr 11, 2017 9:55 AM, "Steve Jones" <[email protected]> wrote: > We are a symantec endpoint shop for our contract customers, but they do > not offer a mobile client package. > Kaspersky does.
