Well, this version of SomeFool was detected by the generic signature of
Magistr.A .

We always prefer to have specific signatures for all variants. So if we
have to remove or modify a generic signature, it will be still detected.

For example, we have various signatures for each Bagle.* worms.
Even if Diego managed to do generic ones, the sigs are still in the
database.
