Hi Statica,
I completely agree. I and the company I work for have had a number infections that have not been detected by "individual" packages, but have been picked up by a combination of packages. In once case, Solomon was the only one to pick up the virus, in another it was some package I can't even remember the name of! In both cases, NAV failed to detect anything at all, and I am talking about the very latest releases!

The point is, people, don't trust to one package all the time. If you suspect you have a virus, try two or three packages! AV software is easy to get hold of these days - USE IT!!!
