There are certain subjects that are the equivalent of scraping fingernails across a chalkboard for antimalware researchers, raising their digital hackles and causing grimacing normally associated with phrases like “root canal surgery” and “income tax audit”.

That’s why I gave a webinar a few days ago titled Is AV Dead? on ESET’s BrightTALK channel, looking not just at the many times I’ve heard this tired canard over the years, but the reasons behind it as well, delving into the many times the “death of AV” has been announced, as well as looking at the new – and old – technologies used to protect against threats.
