I dont want flames about "who leader ?".

Hmmm, You wrong again. DrWeb database contain a 30k VIRUSFOUNDING
RECORDS. But some of records able to detect whole family of some
viruses (10 and more viruses). It's common mistake, that 1 record
detect 1 virus. In most case 1 record == N viruses. I think, that VirusBulletin
does not award DrWeb with 6 VB100% in last two year if DrWeb
was able detects only 30k viruses from 75k. :)
(Source: http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/products.xml?table,
looks DialogueScience entry).
I believe, that no one of av-vendor cannot answer "How much viruses is
known by their product".
GH> Dr. Web is not a bad product but the virus database is to small compared to other products for the same or less cost.
