I cannot express how much I loathe antivirus software. Mostly it's been because it has been nothing but trouble in my work environment, without ever catching anything, for over twenty years. It's the modern corporate snake oil.

Good for you. If your company is regularly the target of industrial espionage and your coworkers have a hard time detecting phishing mails, you're happy to have a good AV suite as a further security measure.

Yes, I'm well aware security is a team sport. All it takes is one person to make a mistake, once. I still remember that the Iloveyou virus penetrated our network back when I was in university, through the Unix lecturer...

Still fucking annoying though.

Although I do realise most of my annoyance comes from shitty configuration and poor human decisions. Oh, let's run a full deep scan at 15:00 everywhere Friday. It's not like the students will need to use those machines during their Comp. Science lab, right?
