Question about submitting samples of new malware

[tomdkat]

Hi!  In the interest of helping make MBAM as effective as possible at protecting computers against new malware threats, I submit samples of threats MBAM doesn't detect as often and as soon as possible.  In fact, most of my posts here are malware sample submissions.  Given the rate at which new threats are released daily, I wonder how effective the efforts are of those who submit samples here.  I know no protective software will block or detect everything, but are we basically fighting a "losing" battle?  Or are our efforts actually making a difference in protecting against new threats?

 

Your thoughts?

 

Thanks!

 

Peace...
