Wow, it seems that Diego did a nice job with all those generic
signatures.

However, i do not agree completely with you. I think that every variant
of a virus should have a signature in the database, even if it is
already detected by some generic signature.

Why ? Because if we have to remove the generic signature due to some
false positives, the variant virus will no longer be detected.

So, generic signatures are fine, but I think we should also have signatures
for a maximum of variants.

Just my two cents,
