AV stands for Anti Virus. Not all AV software is equal. Recently it has become obvious that people have begun to install AVG free and other free AV applications. One of these people recently had their bank account taken for over $100k. And yes they had a firewall and it was updated. It was a key logger sending out port 80 . If the client would have had a real AV application with spyware and phishing filtering this would have been stopped (this not just according to me but the FBI also)
If you do not get reporting from your AV and it is not monitored you are at risk! The FBI does not even look at losses less than $100k, can you afford this?
Remember you get what you pay for. There is a reason it is free and there is a reason they have a pay for version!
