What would be the use case of AV software needing to perform remote code injection?

There's barely a case for AV software existing at all. It's the root cause for all kinds of impossible to track bugs and performance regressions.

The best kind of antivirus is the one that stays quiet unless you specifically ask it to scan a file. Did someone say Clam AV just now?

Why did you download an executable that you don't trust? Don't even scan it, just delete it and go find one you do trust.

Trust, but verify.
