Microsoft's IIS is Twice as Likely to Host Malware? 163
eldavojohn writes "According to Google, Microsoft's server software is at least twice as likely to host viruses or malware. The reason why? 'Google reports that IIS is likely used to distribute malware more often than Apache because many IIS installs are on pirated Windows versions which aren't configured to automatically download patches. (Even pirated Windows versions can automatically receive security fixes, however.) Our analysis demonstrates how important it is to keep web servers patched to the latest patch level,' Google notes."

At least one in version 6:

Which is actually fairly impressive, but then again you'd really only need one remote vulnerability if you are trying to compromise completely unpatched systems.

Since, definition 1: "from then till now (often prec. by ever): He was elected in 1978 and has been president ever since." Dictionary.com FTW! [reference.com]
Perhaps you should learn to speak English before you criticize mine. I answered the question asked.
The word you people want is "after", not "since". As my friend Tom says, correct me if I'm wrong, but be damned sure I'm wrong.
Thank you, please drive through.
