What is your advice to family and friends when they ask you if they need an AV?
-
-
An antivirus exploit is expensive, nobody is using it to pop your world of warcraft account, the economics don't work out. Spending $80k to compromise a $5 account, that's just bad math, right? Spending it to get access to a CFO's draft of 4Q results....now we're talking.
-
Yes, but I was never talking about the CFO's computer. I was talking about malware that pops your WoW account.

a virus/malware is not just an exploit. there is a chain..Am I wrong?
-
Yes, when people say "malware" or "virus" with no other context, they generally mean "socially engineered malware", like "please see invoice.txt.exe for more information".
