It looks like existing methodologies have lost their efficacy.
A group of researchers collected and analyzed 82 new computer viruses and put them up against more than 40 antivirus products, made by top companies like Microsoft, Symantec, McAfee and Kaspersky Lab. The initial detection rate was less than 5 %.
Now they are trying a new approach: monitor access to servers, databases and files for suspicious activity, spot unusual behavior and clean up systems once they have been breached.

<sigh> One more nail in the coffin of independent programmers. What that translates to is "whitelist our products, and the ones we like" and then you hear in the background the whispered "send up warning flags on anything else, so we can drive them out of business."
It really is CLASSIC end game behavior to eliminate competition. Look at the number of companies making automobiles in the 1930s compared to now. Yes, the Federal rules are stricter, but that wasn't always the case. The idea was to squeeze the small players out of the markets, and it (as usual) worked. Computer operating systems are becoming even more police state than the U.S..
I don't know if other Antivirus software has this but I like Norton Insight. It uses a community to maintain a whitelist.
