Symantec SVP Brian Dye is quoted as saying that “antivirus is dead” Dye goes on to proclaim that, “we (Symantec) don’t think of antivirus as a moneymaker in any way” In truth, AV is alive and well as part of an evolving multi-layered endpoint security defense architecture.

For the time being, many government and industry regulations require AV software on endpoints.”]
