I think heuristics are over-rated for such applications. To be truly effective the false positive rate will be crippling and thus folk will stop using such products. There are other ways to do intelligent prevention that actuually works (at least in corporate environments -- SOHO users will largely remain the "virus lepers" or be reduced to depending on NGTCB-like approaches, making them a different kind of leper).
