No. Because virus development and firmware exploits is a huge industry and protection against it is world-wide best practice for good reason.
Everything from governments, the military, home PCs and nuclear power stations are vulnerable.
Protecting server firmware from attacks is always good. Protecting operating systems from exploits and virus attack is always good. It is and always has been.
You are likely updating your virus scanner signatures right now, simply because I reminded you and we both know how important it.
New firmware exploits are created daily and so are viruses. This isn't rocket science. I won't arguing this further with you because this has become silly.
I just read through your back and forth exchanges. I regret that decision. I have concluded that you both are gay.
I'm not vulnerable to computer viruses. I haven't had a single one in well over 30 years of computing, and I've never used antivirus software. It's too big a drain on resources. And yes, I do have measures in place in case a virus ever appears: wipe the drives, reload, and continue. Simple.
This is absolute fact. You can avoid almost all viruses by following proper safe computing practices. Companies get viruses because of individual stupidity.
I believe the viruses are written by the antivirus companies.
