Snake Oil.

Let's put it this way, you know my past work in DRTV and my opinion of the value of the products?

Well, when I did a stint at CA, we actually produced an "As seen on TV" spot for our security suite.

We ended up not airing it but that industry will do anything to make a buck.

Never been a fan of Windows but in my line of work I have no choice but to use it.

I have to admit, Windows 10 is pretty secure. Far far better than previous incarnations.

First version I've not had to run a 3rd party suite.

Don't forget, nearly all virus, malware threats, can only be mitigated once they become known and definitions are updated to recognize and detect them.

Basically everyone is susceptible for the time it takes the security providers to react to new threats.

MSFT and Apple both update their own internal definitions as fast as the 3rd parties.
