It is thought that systems that have been compromised by a virus can also be hijacked by spammers to send out spam. While this is true in many instances, I believe that this is also the flaw in the new MTLDB test. In my experience, most people that get infected by a virus act pretty quickly to clean patch their machines. That's probably why we are seeing such a high false-positive hit rate with this test. With that said, I'm not sure what they can do to make this test more accurate and reliable, but I will wait and see, and maybe possibly be "shown the light" and re-enable the test in the future.
