How many viruses exist today ?

It is almost impossible to give an exact number of viruses present at any moment because new viruses come into the field almost everyday. Furthermore, different anti-virus researchers use different criteria to decide whether two viruses are different or same. Some call them different if they have slight change in their appearance. Others group the viruses in families and count closely related variants as a single virus.

Speaking loose, more than 40,000 viruses exist today.
