Isn't there still a point in running anti-virus because a "regular" virus is far more likely than an "anti-virus virus"?
- tux3 11y agoI would imagine that, if this starts becoming common knowledge, "regular" viruses will happily start exploiting the hell of this free elevator to SYSTEM privilege, as part of many other tools those malwares unfortunately have at their disposal. The "anti-virus virus" could very well become the painfully ironic norm.
