Apropos Antiviren-Software:Antiviren-Software ist tot!"Whilst Dye told the Wall Street Journal it was still worth buying anti-virus to stop some threats, it still let through around 55 percent of attacks. (...)
Netherlands-based RedSocks Malware Research Labs yesterday released a report showing many types of common malware are making their way through anti-virus systems. (...)
“The overall detection by anti-virus software in January was disappointing — only 70.62 percent. For February it is even worse — only 64.77 percent was detected. And in March the average detection was 73.56 percent. That might not sound too bad but it means that 29 percent, 35 percent and 26 percent was not detected,” the company’s report read.
“Protecting your data from Internet-based threats is not an easy task – and relying on protection from anti-virus companies, no matter how established their brand, is simply not enough. Comprehensive protection requires an entirely new approach.”
Last year, Imperva caused controversy by claiming its research showed anti-virus solutions only stopped five percent of all malware identified."Fazit:Klar kann man weiterhin Antiviren-Software benutzen. Aufgrund deren geringe Wirksamkeit darf man sich damit aber nicht sicher fuehlen, und ungehemmt Porno- und sonstige Seiten nutzen, ohne Schaden zu fuerchten (Stichwort: Risikokompensation).
Was kann man alternativ tun - wenn schon kein Vertrauen in Tools besteht?
- Kopf einschalten!!! (Spam-Mails, Fishing, ...)
- SICHERE Downloads nutzen (Tauschboersen/Warez-Software ist meist verseucht)
- Downloads verifizieren (MD5 check)
- sichereres Betriebssystem nutzen (Linux, Mac OS)
- Betriebssystem auf dem aktuellen Stand halten
Ergo: Peter, mit Ubuntu hast du alles richtig gemacht!
