No.  Not me.

The vast, vast majority of people that buy Anti-virus software EXPECT
THE ####ING SOFTWARE TO DETECT MALWARE.

And get it through you thick skull that the vast, vast, vast majority of
people that buy antivirus software don't give a #### about the
difference between viruses and trojans and worms and droppers.  To them,
it's all viral.  And you know what - in the end it doesn't matter.  It's
god damn code that people don't want on their systems.

And also get it through your thick skull that the vast majority of the
54 vendors that have software running at VT want people to believe that
their software will detect THREATENING, DANGEROUS, MALICIOUS files the
instant they hit their computer, regardless if it's a virus or trojan or
worm or dropper.

So stop being disengenous by saying both

"yea, it's good that 10 out of 54 detect the file"

and

"yea, it's good that 44 out of 54 don't detect the file because they're
not supposed to".

You can't have it both ways.

As a measure of what-the-#### people are buying that software for, they
expect these god damn files to be detected.  Why else did they fork over
money for?  Why else are they running that ####ing software for?
