[DUG] Anti-virus software

[John Bird]

Occasional friends flash drive may do it.... remember about 3 years ago when 
the entire Waikato Hospital system was brought down by a virus for about 3 
days - someone put a USB drive in the Wilsons car park office computer 
apparently.

Know of office network drives getting crypto locker on them, again from 
someone from a branch office with a USB drive copying something innocuous 
onto the network.

If you run any Siemens PLC devices then there is a  chance nothing will 
protect you (Stuxnet and its variants).   But then you will never know its 
there unless you are running certain controllers with centrifuges.

I too have ditched AV. The slow performance was the issue. I just watch 
where
I surf and what I open.
Probably been without AV for 5 years now.

I don't however read or connect with any customer info other than the
occasional friends flash Drive. .
