Ahhh-choo! Ahh, lucky you. Every time you are exposed to a virus, your immune system builds resistance to that particular bug. So, why can’t we build computers that do the same thing? “If our bodies functioned like computers, we’d be extinct,” said Steve Hofmeyr, founder and chief scientist of Sana Security. Perhaps the promise of biological computing is that our machines will grow up, rather than grow obsolete. But while it’s easy to draw analogies between how the human immune system works and how virus protection software programs should work, mimicking nature is no simple task.
Symantec already owns 90% of the market. The weakest link theory is BS. If the the leading 3 AV firms own 90 percent of the market and still 50% get hit by viruses, then there is something wrong with the leading AVs. Now they come up with a weakest link story... and they even find a journalist to write that up! If their AV would really work, even new viruses could not have such an impact. A perfect world where everyone has an AV and no viruses are written... keep dreaming
It always amazes me to see the perpetual contortions people go through in order to use Microsoft & Windows. WHY don't you use an absolutely 100% secure operating system? Why do you keep searching for a solution to Windows 82,000 viruses when there is a 100% secure solution? Using the perfectly secure operating system is also using the MOST advanced operating system there is. It's also the operating system that Microsoft always tries to immitate however five to ten years after all Macintosh users have a feature or innovation. Yes get a Mac! The whole world of Windows users have to be the stupidest herd of idiots imaginable. Even Microsoft has always known who to follow who to copy and who to immitate, why can't the herd of morons using their Windows products figure it out? Are each of you that stupid? Do you think Microsoft gives a damn what happens to you? What level of abuse are you prepared to endure from Microsoft? Is there any limits to the abuse you want to endure? CONSIDER THIS: Get over Windows already it's just a crappy immitation of a ten year old Macintosh. Macs are far cheaper than PC's. There ARE far more choices of GOOD software that you can actually USE. Are faster than PC's. Last far longer than PC's. Never need software reinstalled. Never wipe your hard drive because of some flakey OS. Don't get slower just because you have used it for a while. Each operating system actually gets faster on OLD Apple hardware. Microsoft Office is better on a Mac where it started than on Windows. 40% to 50% of all new Mac buyers are converting from the PC, so you can still stay in your herd and feel safe. You will have to give up the abuse habit. There are no serial numbers to enter in a Mac OS. Apple doesn't track you. Apple actually supports it's customers instead of abusing them. WAKE UP AND GET A BRAIN!

What’s Good About Computer Viruses
