Jul 31, 2013 at 9:51 comment added Henrick Hellström @CodesInChaos: AVs might be an issue anyway, at least from a commercial point of view, because a significant fraction of ISV consumers would probably never install ISV software on a platform that isn't protected by AV software. However, I am not entirely sure this is an issue, considering that software obfuscation still can't hide certain detectable behavior, such as potentially harmful OS API calls.
Jul 31, 2013 at 9:11 comment added CodesInChaos @rath AVs are practically irrelevant for keeping your computer secure. The only reason for having them is to avoid the accusation of negligence for not having one.

Jul 30, 2013 at 23:30 comment added rath The researchers said their mathematical obfuscation mechanism can be used to protect intellectual property by preventing the theft of new algorithms and by hiding the vulnerability a software patch is designed to repair when the patch is distributed. which means all obfuscated software are potential malware. But really, wouldn't that technique make AVs practically irrelevant? I think the article is available here
