Most of the commercial industry is, but don't forget about ClamAV[1] and other open-source projects.

ClamAV has one of the worst detection rates, even for ancient shit. Other vendors' Yara rules tend to be better.

It's an engine pluggable with 3rd party signatures if one doesn't like default ones.

I wasn't attempting to discuss its quality but oppose slapping "scam" label on every AV there is.
