Discussions on WindowsForum.com referencing Darren Bilby, a Google security expert, focus on his controversial view that traditional antivirus tools are largely ineffective. Bilby argues that antivirus software is a "useless box-ticking exercise" because by the time malware is detected, damage has already occurred. Forum members debate this perspective, noting that Bilby's stance comes from an advanced security background and may not apply to all users. The tag covers conversations about the limitations of antivirus, the role of whitelisting, and whether endpoint protection is still relevant in modern cybersecurity.
