My 0.02$ Preventive. Corrective would be if the machine has been compromised and the next task is to clean it. But that's not how AV behaves ideally. An infected machine can never be cleaned fully but can be prevented completely from getting infected. If you got an AV in place, it should not get infected at all ( as per vandor's claims atleast
I do not think so. An AV can only play catch-up with the known threats and not prevent something it does not know about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
