A number of months ago IBM distributed (inexpensively) a program that
would scan for certain viruses.  One nice feature of this program was
that it had an easy way for the user to add search patterns as new
viruses were discovered.

Has anyone taken upon themselves the job of updating the search string
to cover new viruses?  Any info would be appreciated.
