Aren’t they the same prophets that will sell the newest Symantec protection, the newest TrendMicro protection, that only them could provide?
Seems apocalyptic prophets again…

This is why I’m not going to be dumping my av software any time soon.

Right now, and into the foreseeable future, I intend to be using avast!. Only when and if the industry actually moves to a reliable whitelist system will I consider switching.

Personally, I believe anti-virus software as we know it, is here to stay.

Its definitely here to stay, good AVs like Avast and Avira will get more proactive and gain HIPS type protection making them even more effective.
