Somewhat off topic, but Fred Cohen (the same guy who came up with the concept
of a virus) showed that stopping *ALL* viruses is equivalent to the Turing
Halting Problem, and thus fundamentally impossible.

Stopping 99.98% of viruses isn't too hard - but stopping ALL of them is
impossible.. Anybody who says it's doable is obviously a salesman. ;)
