114,000 viruses Guess Again. 2941

I am asking YOU to substantiate YOUR comment -- the article cannot do that for either of us. You are asking me to do the work of figuring out a point so you don't have to state it directly?

The article DOES claim that, and you have both stood by it -- it says that there are about 180 viruses (that actually spread in the wild).

Meaning what? You only care about these 30 types, because these are the only ones that users encounter every day? If so, it would seem AV software has a very easy job to find viruses, and should work reliably and never need an update.

So I should buttume he knows better than everyone else reporting such things? IBM isn't a badge -- he can be wrong, too.

These experts are not my own, nor are they all producers of AV solutions, and I usually avoid the makers of 'solutions' for commentary or analysis. You had no reason to buttume I was so foolish, and even less to insult me with such a comment.
