It's not a terrible problem, but it gives attackers a brief window of opportunity to harm your computer every time they tweak their code (http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/18/devilrobber-now-improved-still-nasty-malware-threat/). If a PC hasn't nabbed the latest update to its protection suite, it's vulnerable -- but it doesn't have to be that way. Researchers are using deep learning algorithms (http://www.engadget.com/tag/deeplearning/) that can spot new malicious code naturally, without database updates.
