Interesting AV stats in PCMag on latest Sober outbreak

I've been very impressed with Clamwin. I use it as a backup to my regular antivirus. My regular changes every couple of months, but Clamwin is always there as backup. I'm waiting for the day they become a full program with realtime scan. Clamwin is already being noticed, and when they finally get realtime protection, they're going to be noticed even more. I like it and I trust it.

Hi,

Does anyone know whether the script alert products such as WormGuard would have caught this worm? How about RegDefend and ProcessGuard? Would either of these also detected anything? It would be nice to know whether a layered defense is helpful in this case, especially if the AV does not detect the virus proactively.
