My Photo Attack / Feb 16th

A new executable is making it's way around since ~2amCST.  As you'll see via this Websense ThreatScope link, the malware author performs many steps to ensure their code remains resilient.   The AV Vendors are doing a better job than normal; although, only 13 of 57 are detecting this current attack.  Of special note is the fact that neither Symantec nor McAfee Endpoint AV Solutions are actively protecting our endusers (NOTE - the McAfee detection referenced below is only available on one of their many non-integrated gateway solutions).

Question - how much are you paying for your "Premium" AV Solution, and... why?

Statement - would it not make more sense to reduce your spend on AV and, instead, invest in a next generation security platform?
