Some time ago, I went and grabbed all the quarantined executable attachments from our mail system. I was shocked there were so many, given how long it's been that blocking zip files containing .exe files has been a standard.
I uploaded 30 to virustotal to see what would happen, and I can't recall exact numbers, but I believe we'd be looking at about 25 that has detection rates of 0/51.
Since then, I'd been a staunch advocate of the argument AV just wasn't worth the effort.
Meanwhile, I walk into organisations and every single person has 15 different toolbars clouding up half there screen real estate, and popups hitting them constantly. And you scan with an antivirus and the majority of players end up claiming this sort of thing is legitimate software.
