I respectfully disagree. What antivirus companies still rely on signatures? I see detection rates daily, and while an AV engine is not nearly the thing it was in the past, it is still a very, very important part of the security strategy. Just wait until your next Conficker infection...

Just to amplify 6.0 is also discontinued. This last release a few weeks ago 6.0.2 is the last. It supports 64 bit and windows 7. Server up to 2008 but not R2. No other future operating systems will be supported. They will not say if any future service packs will be supported but if they break CSA you will be on your own, imho. VERY sore subject with me. :) But Mr. Zoits is right, AV is pointless. It is a signature race and you wll lose that race sooner or later no question about it.
