Why Symantec says "Antivirus Software is Dead"
Antivirus software is still helpful. It’s an important layer of security. But, now more than ever, you shouldn’t rely only on antivirus software. Traditional antivirus software doesn’t catch many threats.
Why is Antivirus Software “Dead”?
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Symantec’s senior vice president for information security Bryan Dye said antivirus software “is dead.”Traditional antivirus software detects viruses in two main ways. One is through virus signatures, which your antivirus software regularly downloads updates for. The antivirus company discovers a new piece of malware and pushes out an update for it. When your antivirus encounters a program file, it scans that file to see if it matches any known malware. If the file does match known malware, it’s blocked. Antivirus software also uses heuristics, which attempt to examine a file and detect if it’s malicious, even if the file hasn’t been seen before.
Attackers are getting better at bypassing these protections. If an attacker uses new malware, the antivirus won’t know about the malware and it won’t be detected. Heuristics aren’t perfect, and attackers can tweak their attacks to help them not be detected by heuristics. Attackers frequently use other tricks that aren’t malware, such as phishing and other social engineering tricks.
Brian Dye told the Wall Street Journal that antivirus software now catches only 45% of “cyberattacks”, so this figure includes other types of attacks that aren’t simply malicious software.
Businesses Are the Audience, Not Individual PC Users
It’s no coincidence that this statement was made in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Symantec wants to start competing with business security firms like FireEye, which specialize in helping businesses prevent and deal with breaches. Rather than simply selling antivirus software to these businesses, they want to sell other security services. These services include briefing businesses on threats, analyzing networks for suspicious behavior, and detecting intrusions.Businesses are the target audience here. Symantec is telling businesses that antivirus software isn’t good enough anymore. If a business doesn’t want to get hit with a major data breach like the one Target suffered, they’ll need more advanced intrusion detection and security services. As a matter of fact, Target was paying FireEye for their services and they actually detected the breach ahead of time. Target chose to disable automatic protection and ignore all FireEye’s warnings, which could have halted the attack. Businesses are more under siege than home users because attackers want to make a profit, and there’s more profit in stealing business data.
If you’re an average home user, you should know that Symantec isn’t really talking to you here. They’ll still tell you that antivirus software is important. They just want to shift towards selling higher-value security services to businesses. As the Wall Street Journal puts it: “It would be impractical, if not impossible, to sell such services to individual consumers.”
Yes, You Should Still Use Antivirus Software
he same Wall Street Journal article also refers to antivirus software as “necessary but insufficient.” This is very true. If you’re using a Windows PC, antivirus software can help protect you from malware. Malware that arrives due to a zero-day vulnerability in a web browser or plug-in you use, so just being careful isn’t always good enough.But you can’t rely only on antivirus software to help keep you safe. If you start downloading pirated software from illicit websites and opening dangerous programs that arrive as email attachments, you’ll probably get infected with something. Your antivirus program will fight the good fight and should even catch most of this malware, but some malware will eventually slip through if you’re not exercising proper computer security practices.
There are also other threats that aren’t malware. An antivirus won’t stop you from using the same password everywhere and having your accounts compromised, nor will it stop you from falling for phishing emails and giving away your financial details to an attacker.

Samsung Galaxy Note III to pack a 3450mAh battery
Samsung might have officially sent invitations for the Galaxy Note III launch event, but this doesn't stop the rumour mill from rolling. The Samsung Galaxy Note III will pack a 3450mAh battery, according to a new report.
 |
The South Korean major has been improving the battery backup of its Note devices with each iteration. The original Galaxy Note featured a 2500mAh battery while the second generation Galaxy Note II packed a 3100mAh battery. So, if the rumours are believed the new Galaxy Note III will pack a 3450mAh battery.
The Galaxy Note III is rumoured to feature a 5.7-inch display and the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out of the box. Other leaked specifications suggest that the device could sport a Super AMOLED panel similar to Samsung's other high-end devices with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. In terms of camera, Samsung's latest phablet is expected to sport a 13-megapixel rear camera. It will reportedly be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 3GB of RAM. However, the specifications of the upcoming phablet from Samsung have been confirmed, yet.
Samsung can take credit for creating the Phablet category with its extremely popular Galaxy Note devices, as both the Note devices have been popular.
Earlier, we reported that the South Korean electronics major has sent invitations for an event which it calls an 'Unpacked' event, which is scheduled to take place just ahead of the IFA show and it's likely to unveil its rumoured smart watch at the event, as well.
The company has been using the IFA trade show in Berlin to unveil its Galaxy Note phablet devices in the past. Last year, it unveiled the Galaxy Note II device at the event. The official invite is inline with previous rumours related to the Samsung Galaxy Note III. The company is also expected to use the event to unveil its wearable computing device, most likely a smart watch.

Android Device Manager goes live,helps you to track your lost phone
Following the announcement made by Google, last week, Android Device Manager has now been rolled out to Android devices including smartphones and tablets. The web interface to locate and track the devices is also now live on google.com/android/devicemanager.
To verify if it's enabled, you can go to the Settings menu on your device and then tap on Security. You'll find the a Device administrators setting and after tapping on it, you should see the 'Android Device Manager.' You just need to enable it by tapping on the checkbox.
After enabling the feature, you'll be able to see your device on the web interface. You'll also be able to track its location on Google maps, ring the device at full volume for five minutes and even erase all the data. The web interface allows you to track multiple Android devices through a drop-down menu and you can also rename your Android devices through it.
To enable the erase data option on Nexus devices, you'll need to enable factory reset on your device through the 'Google Settings' app on your device and clicking on the tick box within Android Device Manager.
It's also worth noting that location tracking might not work if Google location settings have not been enabled. You can enable these settings through the 'Location' menu from the Google Settings app to allow Google services to track your location.
The service is available for all Android 2.2 and above devices so it will benefit a large number of users. However, the phone must be connected to the Internet to benefit from it.
Apple, Microsoft and BlackBerry have been offering online utilities, namely Find My iPhone, BlackBerry Protect, and Find My Phone, respectively, that let owners of phones track the location of their handsets, lock them, trigger an alarm and wipe data remotely, for a long time.
Google is late to the party, however, making the utility a part of Android would benefit a large number of users. Handset makers like Samsung and HTC already offer similar tools with their Android phones. Sony had also started rolling out its remote security service "my Xperia," in July.
While third-party services offered by companies like McAfee, Norton, Quickheal and Kaspersky, among others also offer mobile security services, they charge users a one time or recurring fee.

Even if we've seen devices that come close, this concept takes the cake when it comes to versatility.The ASUS Padfone may be able to transform itself from a phone to a tablet, but the Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 takes that idea a few steps further.

Twitter launches music-finding service
Twitter has launched a service that lets people find music they like and tweet songs from iTunes, Spotify and Rdio.
Twitter made the app available for download from Apple's online store and also launched a Web version on Thursday. Twitter said the service will eventually be available
on Android devices as well.The service uses information from Twitter chatter to detect popular tracks as well as new artists. Users who follow musicians can see other artists those musicians follow and can listen to 30-second clips of songs by them.
