This may be only tangentially related, but something about AV has never sat well with me. For the record, I fall into the: "don't really use AV software, read mail in Mutt, never use IE under any circumstances, etc."-category so many of my attack vectors may be closed; I've never lost data from any sort of malware. Going back to what I was saying before, something about the approach of AV seems inelegant. This article[1] (point #2) sums up my sense of AV. With it, you're always playing catch-up and that seems weird. I just wanted to get others to weigh in on that idea.
