It is very difficult to tell how dangerous or severe a virus is, and therefore
how urgent the update is, until it's really too late. How do you define
dangerous? How quickly the virus spreads? Or what damage it does when it
arrives? Either way, I'd prefer to get a quick signature for anything nasty
rather than request the signature-creators spend extra time assessing the
risk associated with a particular piece of code.
I think most people attitude will be: "If it's a virus, give me a signature
quick! I don't care how bad the virus is - I just want protection from it."

Antony.
