In order for AV to work, it has to have the highest level of permissions on the system, high enough to analyze all actions and potentially deny or alert on them.
I don't trust that an AV vendor can _add_ security to a system with a _new_ and obscure binary looking over the kernels shoulder. I don't think the properties of the universe allow for this to ever be true.
- consumer451 3y agoThis is why.. shudder.. Microsoft appears to be the leader in AV (EPP). I also don't want an extra party involved, so ideally, the OS provider should also provide the EPP. I do see how other OSes address this problem differently, such as everything going through a package manager. But, see my question here regarding how often some is going to run apt update && apt upgrade && apt dist-upgrade, vs. the more automated update systems on MacOS and Windows. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38596966 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38596966
