| In a recent study, a total of 226 administrators, CIOs and security
| specialists were asked what they thought of signature and
| blacklist-based solutions. Three out of four administrators
| consider signature-based enterprise anti-virus protection
| unreliable. For zero day attacks in particular, two thirds of the
| administrators surveyed did not believe that standard anti-virus
| products helped to prevent attacks.
