The article highlights that the evolution of AV solution is based on (and lags behind) the evolution of malware and notes that behavioral based approaches are necessary in the current malware landscape, something Webroot has been doing for 2 years already. Just reinforcing the fact that Webroot SecureAnywhere is in fact a "best-of-breed" solution.
