Although it is a Good Idea (tm) to uncover design deficiencies in current AV products, we never should forget that "antivirus" is *by definition* a reactive thing and thus cannot protect from unknown threats. If we wanted to have a *really* proactive approach, we would have to either ask for OS capabilities to efficiently compart (malicious) code or for the software manufacturers to take damn care when using low-level languages and introduce efficient patching mechanisms at last.
