An interesting thing I read recently is that virus writers test their
viruses on popular anti-virus products before releasing them, so they
won't be detected. Thus it is safer in some ways to use lesser-known
anti-virus programs. Similar in a way to Macs being safer from viruses
and hacks due to their being fewer in number.
