Whatever Happened To Anti Virus Protection?
Remember antivirus protection? Back in the day, installing antivirus protection from McAfee or Norton was one of the first things you would do after purchasing a new laptop or computer. But, over the past several years, antivirus protection has largely fallen out of favor. Cybersecurity, however, is still as important as ever. So, what happened? Well, one of the main reasons that antivirus protection software was so critical back in the day was because Microsoft very much dropped the ball when it came to security. Windows XP had a massive raw socket vulnerability while Internet Explorer had a massive VB script vulnerability. When you combined these two issues, early computers became a virus magnet making antivirus protection software extremely popular. However, since then, Microsoft has implemented most if not all of the security checks that these software perform directly into Windows itself, largely rendering additional antivirus protection software useless. This video explains the history of antivirus protection software and why antivirus protection has largely fallen out of favor.
