| Re: Trend Micro Hacked - Serving Malicious Iframes said by EGeezer  :This goes to demonstrate that "trusted sites" can still serve up malware. Frustrating. I operate a locked-down IE7 .. greatly utilizing the trusted/NOT scheme.
Presently, should KIS7's web protection component fail to detect a trusted(s) compromise .. there is no second line.

Does the web scanner of *any* antivirus program really offer any needed protection?
If the antivirus program is going to catch the threat, would it not catch it just as well without the use of a web scanner?
I have often wondered if including a web scanner in an antivirus program was more marketing hype than truly being useful. Am I wrong? | |

Since I only use IE for few sites that need/work best with IE, easy for me to lock down IE using customized settings for Trusted Sites, all other security zones set to max high settings.
Also using Online Armor's "Run Safer" setting for Fx, Opera and IE. | |
