“For me for the last three years I’ve been feeling that the anti-virus industry sucks. If you have 5.5 million new viruses out there how can you claim this industry is doing the right job?”
let that sink in a little...
are you surprised? i know i am... i haven't been this surprised since symantec's john thompson said the virus problem was solved, and yes i'm surprised for essentially the same reason this time as last time - what an incredibly stupid thing for someone in the av industry to say...
the number of new viruses has everything to do with the people creating them and nothing to do with the av industry... the industry is not now, nor has it ever been nor will it ever be in the business of preventing their creation... i'm having difficulty imagining what kind of orwellian world we'd need to be living in for any group to be capable of preventing people from creating malicious software... maybe eva knows something i don't, but as far as i'm aware the industry's business is preventing their customers from getting infected, not preventing the creation of new viruses...
