It wasn't an anti-MS rant as such but rather a pointed example (humor
intended) as to how many apps it takes to ID all malware.
It was a question "in general". And ... MSAV is not by far the app to
end all apps. I could provide a list of malware that MSAV doesn't ID.
There is no app nowadays that will ID all malware. I use MSAV, SB S&D
and Pareto Logic's XsoftSpy and they ALL do not catch one or two that
the other's do, etc. so forth and so on.
