Re: heuristics are dead?

oh wonderful....  Now I'm going to have to deal with all the "experts" in my office telling me that Heuristics and 
behavioral detection is useless and is no longer working, and might as well be shut off.... because these three fellows 
said it  :: sigh :::
 
  I do have to say that they do make sense in some area... I particularly agree with the Security vs Business 
discussion...
