This is the kinda crap that makes people not want to trust the Internet at all. Really, if you can’t trust an anti-malware company’s website, who can you trust?
It’s really about being skeptical about the content you visit…
That comes from Craig Schmugar, a threat researcher for McAfee Avert Labs. I understand the sentiment. But if you look at it, the Internet has not changed much from its original model of trust. Yes, there are some more security measures built in now. There are more warnings that everyone ignores. But the Internet still relies on that trusted model. And that trust is getting more and more eroded everyday. What happens when people just say "screw it" and quit using the Internet?
Maybe I am being melodramatic, but these damn bad guys are like viruses. You kill the host, you don’t survive. Of course, bad guys mutate quickly. Good guys are getting better at it, but we still don’t change quickly enough.
