That's part of it. Are there any products today that do exact 
identification by checksumming the static bytes of the malware?

Well, I'm sure some parts of what was once your engine still do that in 
at least some circumstnaces in the McAfee product today.

And I was always under the impression that Frisk's engine did this in 
at least some cases -- with most "old DOS" viruses and much macro 
malware being (nearly) exactly identified (i.e., as "exactly" as in 
your former engine).
