The antivirus did its job, now you can't get viruses. Jokes aside, I've checked their website and it was full of AI buzzwords so I guess that happens when you focus on nonsense instead of what your customers actually need (I know that all antiviruses have a machine learning component, but usually you don't advertise it as some sort of AI to get better stocks).


All antivirus software is indistinguishable from malware.


I have never seen malware take half the worlds IT systems offline, even in the days of code red and slammer


Blaster legit took down over half of computers on the internet.


But the effects on society were far less because “online” wasn’t synonymous to “internet”


I think the AI talk is just the fashion now amongst C-level execs. Their product - no matter what it does - suddenly needs some sort of AI integration.
