It's clear to me that running updated anti-virus software is inadequate in the anti-virus fight now days. The virus makers are churning them out faster than the anti-virus folks can update their software.


The number I was given by someone at an anti-virus company is that they are getting samples of 50 new viruses or variants per day. And that is growing. Almost all are for Windows or Windows-based software.
