It always pays to read the fine print disclaimer, assuming the advertiser is 
honest enough to include one.  Dr. Solomon, just like many other anti-virus 
vendors, has been using "100% Wild List Detection" in their ads for years.  
This isn't using TOO much snake oil in Dr. Solomon's case because they 
actually detected 94% of Secure Computing's "Full Collection", but other 
scanners which score 100% or close to 100% in the Wild List test make a VERY 
poor showing in the "Full Collection" test.
Have a look at an Invircible ad if you want to see some REAL snake oil.  Zvi 
Netiv INVENTED snake oil!
 PW> I haven't used AVP much.
You should!  :-)
