Who the hell started selling Anti Virus as prevention?

Just a question…shouldn’t this be in the General Security forum?

When it comes to human diseases, detection is also considered as a form of secondary prevention as it provide a chance to identify specific pathological conditions in early phases (raising the chance of benign prognosis).

In a way AVs could be assumed to carry prevention for what they are able to detect.

Primary prevention also includes:

• Preventing exposures
• Improving resistance
• Education to diminish risk-taking behaviors

In a way AVs also improve resistance and they could prevent exposure to what they detect though it is unlikely they promote any related education as they are notorious for luring people to the wonders of unmanned security.

I lost you at human diseases. ;D
