The Antivirus Era Is Over

"Conventional security software is powerless against sophisticated attacks like Flame, but alternative approaches are only just getting started. Flame is just the latest in a series of incidents that suggest that conventional antivirus software is an outmoded way of protecting computers against malware."

http://www.technologyreview.com/news/428166/the-antivirus-era-is-over/

Could this be true? Flame was around for over two years and no A/V company found it.

For those of you that have a Galaxy Nexus, the OS has just been updated to 4.0.4
To see why upgrading if available is a good idea, take a look here:

Strange that as Tech said it was released some time ago and my phone update automatically some time ago.

Do you periodically check for an update, I did when I only had 4.0.0. I also turn the phone off on occasion and I believe my auto update coincided with a restart after having shut it down.

I check quite often and turn the phone off whenever I'm flying someplace which is quite often.
I've also had to do a few hard restarts because the camera was misbehaving but didn't see the
update till today. :)
