Are you asking if software existed before code signing? Yes, it did.

HN has a guideline that you should respond to the best interpretation of a comment, not the least favorable one.

IMO he was clearly reffering to 'thing' being 'an effective thing' for preventing viruses, as opposed to him asking if people downloaded software before code signing.
