According to the results of the AusCERT 2006 computer crime survey, even though 98 percent of companies used an antivirus product, almost half of them experienced a virus infection over the past year.

Neither side will win forever,antivirus try not to make a faulse positive,but the malware dare to do anything. There is always a window that not protected, but you just need define what you can bear and take corresponding action, you can't totally rely on one solution. If you can, the antivirus software will fade away for its enemies do not exist.
