At this point an AV with real-time scanning is only useful to a computer user who doesn't know or care about operational security and plugs in random flash drives (or) clicks on everything they see; And since they form the average customer profile of these AV makers they continue to thrive.
For the rest, AV software results in diminishing returns.
- dorgo 5y ago> and plugs in random flash drives Is this still a problem? I thought OSs don't execute stuff from flash drives automatically any more.
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoThat could be a valid question, But I haven't used Windows for over a decade as the main OS but I presume there could be many who would click 'MakeMoneyFromCrypto.exe' on their flash drive without thinking where it came from twice.
