IMO, the number of definitions doesn't really mean much. In my experience, the most important stuff to protect against are the recent outbreaks -- where mail servers are inundated with worm-laiden email. In this case, it's really a matter of how soon the definitions are updated. Generally, I tend to see definitions updated within 12-48 hours of a reported outbreak. Combine this with your update frequency to figure out your expopsure period.
But just because a virus isn't new doesn't mean that it's not still spreading.
I've had a bit of a chance to run it and I'd say no - it doesn't. I was cleaning up a machine and Norton 2004 did catch some stuff, but Adaware caught much, much more.

While the thought of beating the brains out of Ashton Kutcher is appealing, you'd have terrain problems. GTA with no hills anywhere on the map?
It would be nice to have some nice straight flat roads that allow you to go really, really, really fast.
I think that you're wrong here. People are generally creatures of habit, and will use the same ATMs most of the time unless a more convenient one or one with lower fees is introduced.
Actually, Banks would just as soon get those fraudsters, but the police usually don't go after those "small fish."
We once had a case where a big African American had stolen the card of a little old lady, and had used it to buy some tires or something. We had surveillence footage and everything, but the police would not move on it!
What really needs to happen is that the potential punishment for fraud and scams need to go up. They should be capital crimes like rape and murder.
The ATM's that I am most familiar with (NCR and Triton) have either a "dip" style reader where the entire card is dipped into the reader and removed (by the user) or a card reader that grabs the card and sucks it into the machine during the transaction.
Adding a second card reader to these devices would be problematic and would not look right - they would hopefully tip off the user that something is amiss!
In the US, this is governed by "Reg E" for electronic funds transfers. The customer (victim) has up to 60 days from the cycle date of the statement where the fraudulent charges are reported to contest them - makes for a good reason to at least look over your bank statements when you receive them!
In doing some taxes the other day, I had a customer who sold a small strip of land back to the county to allow for a wider road.
To get the correct valuations and such, I talked to the county recorder and they had the amount of land sold (down to the nearest hundredth of a foot), but I had to figure out the number of acres.
I used google with a search of something like "square feet to acre" and got the conversion, just like that - pretty nice!

It will remind you why it's good to work in an office later on. It also never hurts to know about manual labor.
If in the midwest, sign on for corn detassling - good money but also hard work.
I don't disagree there - but you pick up signatures for older viruses "for free" when you keep everything up to date.
And in the book "Starship Troopers" (but not the movie.
Can't argue with that.
I've fixed a couple of machines that had a combination of just a couple viruses and a bunch of adware that basically rendered them useless.

I'll give it back to you when I'm done using it

While they're at it, they could make identity theft a capital crime, raise speed limits on rural roads, and skip raising the sales tax.

will do just nicely.

That must be why they have braile numbers on the drive up atms
Or a hundred of accounts with 10's of dollars each...
and each of them with a hard daily limit of withdrawals...
and each of them monitored for out of the normal activity...

No bad idea ever goes away.

Because that's what they generate - program windows.
Don't forget that ethanol isn't the only product produced when it is made.
High quality animal feed is a by product of the process, and is what much of the grain would have been used for anyway.
Ethanol is allowing us to gain more utility out of existing crops!
Was Bill Clinton in town...
Isn't that what Young Einstein did - split the beer atom to produce energy (and bubbles)?
