AV is a little and often useless supplement to security, nothing more. It has always been trivially easy for a script kiddie to write malicious software that passes all of VirusTotal. In the decade I've been using AV, I had less true positives than false positives (yes please auto-delete my patches, hacktools and software I've written myself, idiot AV program) and of course some false negatives that wrecked me because I executed them. Since I stopped using AV and became more careful (e.g. use VM for suspicious files) I was never infected again.
