You have set the topic of thread "Antivirus Programs Adopting New Technology" and haven't said a word about the "New Technology". Is it right that they are going for new technologies or just your opinion that the current technology is outdated?

And this will be something the end-user will actually notice? Like, it will reduce the amount of attacks and/or infections?

Who gives a damn. You know how many viruses/virus alerts I've gotten ever? 0. You don't get this shit on you're computer if you're not an idiot for about 95% of the time.

antivirus is a bullshit. most of the times they fail to detect a virus and even if they find one, they fail to remove it.
the only usable side of antivirus is they warn you when something suspicious is going to hapen in your system,like mcafee

Always remember that prevention is better than cure. If you are going to expose yourself to cold weather chances are that you will get ill. So then you will have to take medicines whether it works or not. In the same way if you are going to visit sites that are questionable and download illegal warez softwares chances are that your computer will get a virus. Then the antivirus does their stuff which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Can anybody here say straw man? I know I can. It's quite relevant.

There is a technology that you keep forgetting that is called the Heuristic scanning technology. This takes into consideration all other details when scanning a file.

[BOoBOo]

1. Just keep your windows on auto update
2. Stop downloading illegal files from torrents or looking for porn online. Get a real life gf instead.
3. Get Free Antivirus program - AntiVirus Download Comodo Free Anti Virus Software Internet Security

If you are still going to download software or mp3 from torrents, get Kaspersky that has Heuristic Scanning technology built into it and that should help. Kaspersky deeply scans every file that you open or even run, so that helps a lot. You might notice few second lag when you try to install a program and that's because kaspersky is scanning the file.
