Re: Just don't use ANY anti-virus
Real security involves using a computer system that is more secure by design, such as GNU/Linux instead of Microsoft Windows, plus being more careful about what you do with your computer.
You are "not wrong". however, for the average user, especially those who actually SURF THE WEB with a windows computer using a login that has administrator-level access, the A/V at least provides a minimal level of defense. (I do not use it, as it mostly gets in the way of software development, but I do not use windows machines for web surfing either, and any e-mail is read by "not outlook" in PLAIN TEXT MODE ONLY and NO inline graphics)
So yeah I call that "safe surfing" but it works best when NOT using a Windows OS.
