The number of signatures required to detect malicious code skyrocketed in the first half of 2008, increasing by 80 percent since the end of 2007, according to data released by antivirus firm F-Secure on Tuesday.
 
The data -- part of the F-Secure's IT Security Threat Summary -- showed that the company currently requires nearly 900,000 different signatures, also referred to as "definitions" or "detections," in its product to catch current threats, up from 500,000 signatures at the end of 2007.
 
"I have a nasty feeling that the situation is getting worse, not better," Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer at F-Secure, said in a statement announcing the release of the report. "However, we're not giving up either."
