i somehow doubt that....

this is a little misleading... not just anyone can make an addition to
the wild list, you have to go through a bit of bureaucracy and before
that you have to be known and trusted in the av community... otherwise
the vx crowd would be making false reports and rendering the wild list
absolutely worthless...
and because of this, not all viruses in the wild are on the wild list,
and new viruses get into the wild all the time (and i don't mean new
unknown viruses, just viruses that weren't in the wild before) so an in
the wild test is misleading as far as the protection a scanner can
offer...
... i missed Bill Gates at COMDEX, but i'll get him next year...
