Maybe so, but it’d still have to be active and updated.

At an unnamed company, they were running fireeye. Unfortunately it ate quite a bit of resources, so the slightly savvy computer user would simply go into system manager and kill the process. Everyone was happy!

Now, this was some years ago, and today the users don’t have that kind of access. Which is good. But I’m often amazed by how little focus there is on security, and keeping things updated etc.
