No, this a marketing "numbers game". I bet f-prot's 40K are just as
good as others in practice. I wonder if Norton and McAfee still
counts all the DOS viruses from 10 years ago in their totals to win
the "more is better" game?
Although viruses do seem to hang around, the support for 1000's of
ancient viruses is much less important than catching the most recent
viruses of the last year or month or week.
