the number of viruses, worms and trojans in circulation
has topped the one million mark.
Unfortunately, in 28 April 2009, Symantec Corporation announced the publication of its April 2009 MessageLabs Intelligence Report. The analysis highlights that spam has increased almost ten percent in one month, reaching heights of 85.3 percent, levels not experienced since September 2007. Also in April, the high profile G20 summit was the subject for a rise in targeted malware attacks. In addition, the number of malicious websites intercepted per day continued to increase significantly, taking the average number of intercepted each day to 3,561.
The vast majority of these viruses are aimed at PCs running,
Typically, groups engaged in hi-tech crime employ groups of programmers to generate the novel variants. The fact that these programmers expect to be paid drives the criminals to make as much money as possible out of the information they steal and to be constantly on the look out & threaten online users as new victims.
Thus, in order to avoid the increase of those numbers of viruses in future, as my suggestion the security firms should create an ultimate protection for windows such as strong antivirus system before too late to secure it.
Malicious programs hit new high
