Re: Trend Micro Hacked - Serving Malicious Iframes

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?
