Isn't it pretty to think so.
I don't know if it qualifies as a virus but that XP Antivirus 2009 poo poo was hell for a few weeks. It was actually the first time in years that we had so many outbreaks.

Fun fact: Sophos couldn't detect it, and we had to use superantispyware to remove it.

Over the past year I have been steadily losing the faith I once had in NOD32. Once upon a time it seemed like viruses and spyware were a thing of the past once I installed NOD32, but now more and more of my clients are getting infected. I'm also not very happy with their refusal to integrate their product with any of the common managed services monitoring solutions out there. As soon as my clients' subscriptions are up, I will probably move in another direction.

Same with Sophos. It used to catch a bunch of stuff, now, even when it does, it can't remove it.

It seems like AV apps go in cycles. Like how Ad-Aware was good for years, then Spybot SD, then (briefly) Windows Defender and now Superantispyware.
