For regular users clicking every link and using firefox and office and nothing else, maybe. But for somewhat experienced people with a large toolset on the machine: NO! Approximately once a month I had to persuade the AV vendor that they REALLY need to check if some tool is a false positive. It always was. The most annoying part was when the MS malware removal tool had a false-positive and deleted without asking. It would be interesting to compare the damage actually avoided by virus scanners to the damages and costs they cause (including false-positives wiping out system files, the hassle with updates/deployment and the cost of the products).
