So what you're saying is that for the 10 AV programs that *can* detect
those files as viral - it means nothing.

The work they do so that they can perform the detection almost
immediately as those files get into circulation - according to you it
means nothing.  It has no value.  They do it for no reason.

Because according to you, the general population of windoze computer
users don't need to be able to detect those files as malware.  They
magically don't need protection from their own stupidity in case they
click on them, because for some reason they don't click on them, and
therefor according to you - AV software doesn't have to detect these
files in "real time".

Does anyone else here feel the same way as Dustin about this ability (or
lack thereof) of the vast majority of AV software to be able to detect
these threats when they first enter circulation?

And btw Dustin, did you download those files so you can take them apart
and submit the actual droppers to VT?
