You're talking about an industry that sees fit to make the problem 3 to 4 times worse by sending advertising spam (a.k.a "a virus was detected" notices) back to the (almost always during the last 2-3 years) forged From: of the mail, and that inflate their penis-extender "number of different viruses detected" claims with things not prevalent enough in the wild to be a threat.
