Antiviruses Not Always the Solution When Battling Two Decades of Cyber Warfare
Whether or not antivirus software is worth the money spent on it is a huge topic these days. As debates continue to evolve on the subject, antiviruses are known to impact only viruses it knows of.
Online, May 8, 2013 (Newswire.com) - In a Hacker Intelligence Initiative Monthly Trend Report published by the Imperva firm in December 2012, a team of researchers conducted a study of more than 80 malware samples to assess the effectiveness of antivirus software. The report indicated that the initial detection rate of a newly created virus is less than 5%. It stated also that for certain antivirus vendors, it could take up to four weeks to detect a new virus from the time of the initial scan.
The report stated that vendors with the best detection capabilities include those with free antivirus packages, Avast and Emsisoft, though they do have a high false positive rate.
Of all the figures cited, it was researched that consumers spent a whopping $4.5 billion on antivirus, while enterprises $2.9 billion, leading to a total of $7.4 billion, in what the study deemed to say was "not proportional to its effectiveness". The group also recommended 'freeware and new security models for protection.'
With the notion of antivirus software being a computer user's survival guide now looming and this spring marking the 20th year of "cyber war", according to military strategist John Arquilla, the call for more serious, hard-wearing techniques is inevitable.
