Wow someone who know OneCare.

OK. How come OneCare has such a poor catch rate ?

About the only malware it is "good" at are the ZLob Trojan variants.

BTW: I used to communicate with R. Treit when OneCare was initially launched and I got him
to put the malware submission email address outside the Microsoft email content filters
which used to block malware submissions.
