Hi Goran,
Here are my latest stats:
Virus Totals:
441 F-Prot
412 AVG
446 McAfee
-----------------
Vunerabilities:
349
-----------------
I update the defs for all every 4 hrs on a staggered schedule.
Because of possible false positives I have found it hard to rank one
particular scanner over another. For me the advantage to have more
than one is one [varies] company will always come out with protection
for a new outbreak before another. The downside is cost and cpu
overhead. For the latter there is an outstanding request to Scott to
kill additional scanning once a scanner detects a virus..
