Not to mention that your scanner may not detect the specific sample at
the time it will pass the perimeter scanner.

Last year I spend a day in a AV lab and quite a bit of time with 4
months worth of raw samples. The average figures we came up with was 110
new samples per day of which about 40 were seen almost immediatly. So
the majority of samples are analyzed only hours, days or even weeks
after they may hit you.

At the moment webbased ones seem the ones to change the fastest. But you
may still pass malware because your scanner(s) did not detect it.
