No actually research is finding generic signatures for larger virus/wom
families, generic detection for virus/worm types, implementing emulated
Win32/DOS environment within the virus scanner to analyse the behaviour
of a program. Something like this. Not entirely useless. Recently posted
a couple of links that investigate the efficiency of these methods. The
results are still far from being assuring, but saying that these methods
are useless is ignoring tha facts.

Exactly. Like onvincing the people that writing and distributing viruses
is a bad thing. But this smells like a flame.
