false... 400-500 is sufficient for an "in the wild" test only, the
viruses in the wild are not representative of the whole set or of the
actual protection a scanner can offer and virus bulletin's "in the wild"
test bed had only 97 viruses in it... and it tested only file
infectors... we all know boot infectors are more prevailent in the wild
than file infectors...
RSJ> They update the
RSJ> comparison every January so it soon will be updated.
i don't expect to see a huge improvement...
