You haven’t heard this before because there is no money to be made telling people not to buy stuff. Also, the big powerful companies who sell AV software may come down on companies who say this. Speaking up could cause public relations problems.

There is essentially no evidence that antivirus software makes you safer and growing evidence that it makes you less safe. Yes, scans sometimes find viruses old enough to be in a database. The problem is, they never find new ones. It’s trivial for a criminal to modify virus code slightly, recompile it and release it again into the wild. It will have a new signature and anti-virus scans won’t see it. The better scanners are capable of considering signatures based on fragments, but this is not reliable.
