The problem

• The AV industry is in need of change
• Multi-billion industry
• AV is a must-have tool, effective monopoly by
  larger brands
• Subscription revenue abuse
• Buggy product, bloated
• Slow to react to new threat types (spyware,
  adware)
• Reluctant to detect grayware
• Legal risk
• Out of their comfort zone
• Definitions of malware are too strict

5
The problem

• There is no practical difference between
  Spyware and Viruses
• Its all bad. Its all malware.
• Malware authors are economically motivated, and
  your users are the target.
• Malware is now incredibly complex
• Rootkits
• Multiple components
• Polymorphic
• No longer a single file or macro infector

6
Social engineering

• Social engineering is the primary infection
  vector
• Exploits no longer as effective due to patching,
  less usable holes found
• Malware vendors have moved to highly creative
  social engineering methods
• Web browsing a major issue
• Spam has become a major infection vector

  sell more subscriptions, win reviews
