I am yet to see any proof of this, all I see are yours and others
protestions. Nothing offered as proof whatsoever.

Feel free to provide this proof to back up your claim.....
Proven by whom?
Proven when?
What methodologies were employed?
What products were used?
What threats and vectors were trying to be blocked?
What failed to be blocked?
What was the failure ratio?
How long did it take for the first failure to occur?
What were the costs involved in the project?

Not installing malware in the first place is what filtering is all
about. Proper filtering makes installing *anything*, malware or not
impossible as it can never reach the machine.

I'm quite happy to discuss this issue if the naysayers are willing to
offer proof other than statements such as "because I said so" and
"Spybot is crap"

Where is the proof you have proved anything?
