Malware Exploded in 2007, Security Vendor Says

[HardOCP News]

Apparently 2007 will go down as the year of Malware. Put it this way, if your stocks performed as well as Malware did this year, you’d be rich.

Through the end of 2006 and 20 years prior, F-Secure counted a total of 250,000 samples, said Mikko Hypponen, F-Secure's chief research officer. This year alone, 250,000 samples have been counted, he said.

No wait, 2009 will be.

Wait, no, it's 2010..
