That's funny, considering they have one of the largest collections of malware.

One of the tricks they use to identify malware is to run md5sums on each of the ASCII strings found in a file.  They 
then do a little statistical analysis every time something new comes in.  If the string content of something new is a 
90 - 95% match against some malware that's already been analyzed, then it's more than likely a new variant.  The trick 
also works when identifying morphing malware.
