Read about the Storm virus (virus+worm+trojan, etc.). It’s not created by AV companies, it’s created by people who are intent on using malware to steal.
This reminds me of a problem I had at the last company I worked for. We maintained a set of applications for Pathology Labs around Australia that the business relied upon every day. The application used VB6 and in order to log data to the administrator of the system, would E-mail responses via an 3rd party DLL.
This was all working very well. That is until two of our biggest clients suddenly and inexplicitly went down. Turns out, they were both using the same Anti Virus software. The software falsely recognised the component as a work and promptly removed the DLL site wide. This included all ZIP and CAB files containing the DLL.
It took around 3 days for the anti virus vendor to fix the software and in this time, the customers systems were essentially unuseable.
It tought me a very good lesson. Virus software is bad. Very bad!
Now a days people are currently so focused on an impossible prevention they should spend enough time worrying about how to recover from it. May i know that which the best antivirus that supports the pc very well. Thanks for posting such an awesome article.

no matter how careful you try to be, you are likely to get one someday, and a fear for data by then.
