Virus protection *should* always be part of a general security concept,
which should include a good backup concept (a lot of ppl spend lots of
money for a virus scanner but their backup/restore concept is too "weak".
The best virus scanner can not restore destroyed data) _and_ user
education! Think of hoaxes, for example.
