http://www.VMyths.com and the 100% virus detection guarantee
A site "about computer virus myths, hoaxes, urban legends, hysteria, and the implications if you believe in them. You can also search a list of computer virus hoaxes & virus hysteria from A to Z".
On the other hand, I think that this particular article "An open letter to the CISO of the American Red Cross" that they carry right now, is grossly unfair to Ron Baklarz and incredibly naive in the way it buys into sales pitches. So two antivirus scanning operations claim that they have a "money back guarantee" if a mail virus slips through .. I mean .. really.. irony on/off ??
There shouldn't be a 100% virus detection guarantee ever..
We should have learnt that much by now.
