Re: Is the spyware/malware problem as bad as it once was ?

Hello,

From the link "AV Firms Scrambling to Keep Up", one poster gives the following link :
»www.viruslist.com/en/analysis?pu···04791987

Where it is said that :
quote:
The total number of threats in 2007 more than doubled. In the big picture, Kaspersky Lab added almost as many new programs to its antivirus databases in 2007 as it had done in the course of the previous 15 years.

The Internet had never experienced anything like this onslaught of threats, and Kaspersky Lab was pressed to do everything in its power - and sometimes even perform the impossible - in order to combat these threats. This is a cause for serious concern; if the situation does not change in 2008 (and there is no cause to think that it will), then the number of threats will again have doubled by the end of the year.

Regards.
