Anti-virus software losing war against viruses
     The Age [Australia]

"Software engineers are losing the war against fast-spreading viruses
of the kind that have disabled hundreds of thousands of computers
this year, according to the first study into the effectiveness of
anti-virus programs. Anti-virus software, and the means used to
distribute it, simply cannot combat a new rapidly replicating virus
or worm, according to Matthew Williamson, a researcher with computer
giant Hewlett-Packard." (09/04/03)
