Is Windows based antivirus really worthwhile anymore? I don't have a
firm opinion one way or another but a lot of folks do:

Especially in light of Google's incident this past week it seems
antivirus is useless against spearphishing so all we can do in that
case is hope nobody takes an interest in us. And so many viruses and
variants are coming out that they are nowhere near keeping up with the
latest.

The question is not what is your antivirus catching but what is it NOT
catching and is that acceptable?
