Might help explain why malware so easily disables AV software www.theregister.co.uk die/ "Why is it harder to exploit browsers than security products?" "The excessive privileges used in antivirus was a boon for attackers because exploiting the software often provided root or system level access" |

| 1380873 | 2014-08-05 21:01:00 | "This problem, however, extends beyond antivirus programs.
