What Made a Best Antivirus in the Past vs Present?

There are plenty of antiviruses on the market, but what makes  a good one? Until fairly recently, there was malware, but only limited strains. They were easier to handle and detect, and experts found it easy to update virus definitions in antivirus blacklists. So antiviruses with signature-based techniques were efficient in detecting and removing malware. However, with the evolution of technology and proliferation of malware and cybercrime, security breaches are now a huge problem. Traditional antivirus systems are not equipped to handle the latest unknown, zero-day threats. The most effective antiviruses are now equipped with better security options and have added more techniques and methods to help users stay safe from online threats.
