A/V can't really compete with a good malware author. The ways it works without hindering a machine's functionality simply do not allow the A/V to win. If you are actually interested in this, hit me up and I can get you some reference material.

- Malware is mostly for profit nowadays, so they target what can get them cash
- Operating System security has much improved over the past decade ... the easiest thing to attack is the user so that's what most attackers do ... 0.1% of 1 million is still very successful.
- Malware is wanting to be stealthier now since it's more about the money and less about ego.
