Re: do we realy need expensive AV software
dropmyrights + comodo pfw + anivir = no av. AV software is pretty useless to me. Most new malware is configured to avoid triggering AV anyway, so AV's don't catch most 0-day releases which is when infection is most likely to occur. Modifying security policies to restrict where software can be launched from locks things down even further but none of these are newbie friendly so AV is useful for some, even if it only catches ancient drive-by viruses on porn sites.
