This is a very good point. I have always been a bit sceptically on the anti-virus companies. The market looks a bit odd to me - different from many other software markets. A lot of regional market domination. Norton in the US, Kaspersky in the RU or ANTIVIR in GER. Looks almost like certain nations prefer having their "own" anti-virus company structures in place.
Are there any serious anti-virus open source alternatives available?
- keeperofdakeys 15y agoThere is ClamAV, although I don't know if it supports on-access scanning these days (it always used to be manual scanning). I also don't know how the definitions are sourced.
