Anti-virus Lets Malware Through

According to new reports from a malware scanning IT service on the Internet, users may have their IT security breached even if they have running up-to-date anti-virus software and they might get infected. So, if someone dares to scan its computer with the SurfRight’s HitmanPro 3 behavioural scan, there is a chance in three to discover that it has been infected with malware, according to recent studies.

So, nearly a third (25,000 out of 78,800) of computers with up-to-date anti-virus software had malware on their PCs. Because nearly a quarter from the people that used SurfRight’s software were running out of date security software, the result of the global analysis might be a whole lot worse. The problem is that this study shows that hackers are getting smarter and develop even smarter malware that can get through up to date anti-virus software. This is a very delicate issue.
