[KB251] How many viruses do ESET products detect?

Solution

Since the use of heuristics extends the detection capabilities beyond a specific set of known viruses, there is no exact total number of viruses detected by ESET products. Of course, no antivirus system detects absolutely all viruses in the world. To improve detection of 'in the wild' viruses, ESET products use sophisticated heuristic techniques. If you find a suspicious file which is not detected by your ESET product, please submit it to ESET labs for analysis.
