Report declares antivirus software a waste of money for businesses

1 pointsby trendspotterover 12 years ago
"Antivirus software is now so ineffective at detecting new malware threats most enterprises are probably wasting their money buying it, an analysis by security firm Imperva has concluded in a study, that was carried out by the University of Tel Aviv. The team ran a collection of 82 new malware files through the VirusTotal system that checks files against around 40 different antivirus products, finding that the initial detection rate was a startling zero."
