I gave up on Virus scans a couple years ago. I turned into one of the grey bears that use to tell me in the late 90s they were useless...
Actually revelations nowadays are that they are not just useless since they can't keep up with literally millions of viruses released every month, according to head of IAD for the NSA like 5 years ago... probably way more now. But the fact is they are more of a security risk then they are worth. There is a security researcher Tavis Ormandy? who has exposed kapersky and exploits Norton quite frequently. Norton once took one of my suggestion when they started their 2009 I think was the year, a symantec employee contacted me and I was psyched to see they included my suggestion. With a brand new revamped norton that was destroying everyone else with the lightest foot print. Then I caught them hiding processses in the kernel and their own program, which ahd a feature who listed which cpu use was from norton or other on system, was lying haha. And after like 2 or 3 years they were back to raping hdd's and using resources again. Rumours from the 90s about them making their own viruses to promote their own software has also been proven not too long ago. Especially related to Kapersky being caught as well. Some of them are so blatantly corrupt nowadays you know its them when they pop up on your windows machine out of nowhere lol...cough personal antivirus...cough.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
