according to an article on ZDnet 80% of new malware is going to be able to go undetected under most anti-virus protection software.

Here is a quote from the Australian Computer Emergency Response Team.

"At the point we see it as a CERT, which is very early on -- the most popular brands of antivirus on the market … have an 80 percent miss rate. That is not a detection rate that is a miss rate.
"So if you are running these pieces of software, eight out of 10 pieces of malicious code are going to get in," said Ingram.



Along with that another story on CNEt.com reported that major security researches say that a new Trojan Horse cannot be discovered by their software. The new virus is being called "Rustock" by Symantec and "Mailbot.AZ" by F-Secure.

Now this is pretty serious we have had major viruses before, but even the companies that make and sell virus protection are stepping up and saying we cant find this one. This is a so called "new chapter..in the battle against malicous code." Just all in all bad news for anyone who is connected through the internet especially people who believe they are safe behind their virus protection. Ive never really liked those people who have hardcore Norton protection that really just slows down their internet and then they use internet explorer and get spyware anyways. We will just have to wait and see what becomes of these new trojans and what researches will come up with to protect users against them.
