are you as sick of hearing about how 'anti-virus is dead' as i am? wow, what a worn out, tired, washed up meme... maybe now that amrit thinks stand alone av has actually finally died there will be a little less av is dead noise coming from his corner...
this isn't a freak out, though, just a reminder that what i said last year is still true - so long as people still want best-of-breed there will still be a market for stand alone av...
just because gartner changed the way they model the playing field (a necessity given the evolution, not death, of av), and just because vendors are gradually making the components of their security suites play nicer together (imagine that, they're actually managing to improve their products), doesn't mean stand alone av is going anywhere - and thinking it does probably qualifies as some sort of confirmation bias... personally, i'm going to wait for the fat lady to sing before i say it's dead... so long as i can still get an up to date and supported stand alone av app, stand alone av ain't dead...
