Small antivirus companies are overwhelmed

Small antivirus and anti-spyware companies are being
overwhelmed by the amount of malware being produced, according to
security researcher Alex Eckelberry.
Eckelberry, president and chief executive of antivirus company Sunbelt
Software, said on Thursday that the huge amount of malware in existence
makes it difficult for small compnaies to tackle the problem. "No longer can a company compete with a few folks in the lab and a group of good programmers," wrote Eckelberry in a blog post.
"They're out there: little companies with small teams working an
anti-spyware or antivirus product, but it's hopeless. A small platoon
won't win this war. You need a brigade."
