This was explained to you not to long ago by essexboy, I'd suggest you read back some of your previous posts and find the answer.

Also please learn to use the search function where most of you questions can be answered or were already answered in your earlier questioning ::) without needlessly flooding the forum with unwanted posts.

Also please stop asking when a stable version will be released, this has also been answered several times to you previously to which the answer is "there are no set release times...its ready when it's ready".

Detection does not increase in a linear fashion with the number of added signatures/definitions. The scale is more or less logarithmic these days. Adding one signature can result in massive increase in detection if it is crafted in such a way.
