No.  All those only try to recognize known threats.  When a threat is
known, the security hole it exploits is also known, and the fix for it
already exists as well, so updating your distribution to the latest
security fixes is a better solution since it doesn't just protect you
from those known threats but it also protects you from unknown threats
using the same security holes.
