To make it even worse, all it takes is an email to be sent and received by your computer: You don’t even have to open the email! An antivirus works by scanning every file your computer receives and sends, making sure that everything is safe for you and your computer. The threat is extremely dangerous as it basically turns the antivirus software into a tool the hacker can use to collect private information or causing system corruption, exactly the opposite of what an antivirus is supposed to do. Here’s some of the top antivirus blunders we have seen from PC protection companies in the 30 year history of the software - Our first great antivirus blunder in the list was only very recently discovered in December 2015, Dark Reading (a well respected news website in the computing security industry) reported that issues with memory allocation in computers ‘made it possible to compromise AVG, McAfee and Kaspersky products’. It’s not uncommon for a product to have 100 million+ users in this space, so as you can imagine, slip ups in updates to algorithms are rather noticeable.
