Even if you have the smartest, most paranoid users in the world, and they avoid the sketchy parts of the net, they can still encounter some malware.
Major web sites have served malware in the past via infected ads that they displayed from well-known ad networks. Anti-virus is a (mostly) solved problem and will for (almost) everyone provide more value than risks. Yes, there are corner cases. You might even be one, but isn't it better to close off this simple vector so that you can spend your time working on dealing with higher level threats? Run AV, be smart about needed exceptions, monitor closely. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
