Then again, that's your choice as a system user. I personally think waiting until the first major attack to go "oh, wow, we need an AV solution *now*" is the wrong time to start developing a solution or looking at the options. I really don't understand what's so wrong about being proactive.
I don't know that I'd classify mimicking failed strategies from the microsoft world as being proactive. If a problem of the type that you fear arises, or seems likely to arise, it should be solved using strategies and algorithms developed according to *nix principles IMHO.
