Key Points

  • Outdated antivirus with stale virus definitions misses new threats
  • Zero-day exploits attack before any antivirus has a signature for them
  • Social engineering attacks bypass technical defences by targeting people
  • Unpatched operating system vulnerabilities are exploited independently of antivirus
  • Browser-based attacks occur in memory without touching the file system
  • Unprotected Wi-Fi allows man-in-the-middle attacks despite antivirus
  • McAfee’s multi-layer protection adds firewall, VPN, and behavioural analysis
  • Regular full scans + auto-updates close the most common gaps
