Thank you for saying this!  This is the real life world in which we
live.  This is the root of the differences between the philosophies
espoused by the academics and the words this forum has heard from some
of the people who represent products.

Products have to be concerned with being fast (invisible) during the
normal course of a day's work.  The normal course is one where there
are no viruses on the system.  When a virus is detected, the big guns
get called and they arrive to work in a different environment, where
there is known to be a virus.  That would imply a different set of
tools.

The program is an alarm system.  You don't house firemen in everyone's
homes.
