Though the risks associated with it may have been eclipsed by other threats, they have not completely gone away so the concern is certainly valid. Further, malware has changed with new threat vectors replacing traditional problems. Finally, the anti-malware solutions available today offer far greater complexity and capability than the tools of just a few years ago.
