RE: Major antivirus engines failing to detect malware
AV is not enough... Plain and simple. No vendor no
matter how big they are with vast resources or staff
and R&D funds, with large honey pots, or how small and
dynamic they are with updates, patches and removal
tools, can keep up with malicious virus authors.

We need better more secure browsers, better proactive
based protection leveraging IPS like technology,
Firewalls NEED to be enabled, and for christ's sakes,
stop being assigned the "Administrator," role.

Some AV vendors have gone down the route of a
whitelist, rather than a blacklist of bad apps. There
are 10x or more bad things than good things, so they
are moving towards community based feedback, weighted
scores, and allowing trusted apps. Think Cloud
security...
