There is a whole virus underground out there. They critique each others' work.
There'd have to be nothing but virus releases from now until the end of time to catch up with the number of Microsoft exploits.
This virus contains stealth technology to knock out your anti-virus software. It goes out and defeats them.
Nearly all of the damage done to data by this virus will be done by end users panicking.
