It's true !

Why use it in the first place ? Hell, Yesterday I put 20 infected EXE files in a folder and
had that MS AV Web Site scan the folder. Of the 20 files it only caught one infector and
that was a SDBot variant. Everytime I test that site I consistently get poor to bad
results. Yet, I keep providing Microsoft with samples of infectors that they don't catch.
What gets me is that a week after I sumit files to Microsoft, the web site STILL does not
recognize the infectors.
