Is the end of anti-virus finally here? | InfoWorld | Column | 2006-09-08 | By Roger A. Grimes: "If anti-virus vendors don’t take a serious look at the state of their products as compared to the current threats and build a better mousetrap, it’s clear to me that they won’t last another five years."

One of my clients has been racked again by something and rather than clean the network and figure out what is slowing everything whether it is a virus or it is just a microsoft patch, we are considering removing all windows boxes except a terminal server with all windows software needed and remote into this box from linux workstations in the LAN.

The security landscape is unbelievably costly anymore.
