Hi, The problem (as with this German article) is, that most people are judging the McAfee response time by the availability of a virus specific "EXTRA.DAT". In many cases, that file is only published after the threat level warrants it.
People need to get the DAILY.DAT. They are updated several times DAILY and in my personal observation (by comparing messages posted on this forum against the time when I found the virus in my logs), new viruses are detected as quickly if not faster than most competitors.
