The JAW Syndrome - Just Another Wannabe!

"an overall total data set of approximately 1,708 confirmed malware files" ?

Why "approximately" ... can't they count ... and who "confirmed" them as malware ?

Read on, and all becomes clear ... "every malware file had to be confirmed as malware by at least three AV vendors used in this study".

ROFL

Amateurish to the max!

It's total Cyberwank!
