I understand your feeling, but i can't agree with your assertion. for instance, only 23% of fully patched AV systems can detect the ZeuS trojan. as of last year, close to 40% of distributed malware could not be detected via static signature scan. the only way to catch some of them is with behavioral analysis, and most AV/IS systems run in an non-interactive mode, to keep the user from being swamped with messages every time a process loads a new dll, or establishes a relationship with another process. of course malware employing a rootkit would not cause behavioral warnings, and most rootkits can't really be detected by conventional AV systems.

with windows you can just never tell if it is clean.
