One Million Sites Infected With Malware In Q2 42
Trailrunner7 writes "More than one million Web domains were infected with malicious code in the second quarter of 2010 — around one percent of all active Web domains, according to new data. The number of infected domains was extrapolated from data gained through a sample scan of what Dasient describes as 'millions of Web sites,' as well as from customer deployments. It suggests that compromises of Web sites are on the rise, as attackers look to push out malicious programs through so-called drive by download attacks."
Of course you have. (Score:3, Funny)
Web anti malware firm Dasient has published data claiming that more than 1 million Web sites were compromised in the second quarter, 2010 - a sharp increase.
*In Sean Connery's James Bond voice* Of course they have.

The only Malware we were infected by in Q2 was McAfee. It decided a few critical systems files were viruses and shut us down for hours. Stupid Malware creators.

Windows 7 decided that an executable that I had on my computer(that I myself had just compiled) was a trojan and over reacted so hard that it fragged explorer.
Fun times for all!

Ummm, Windows 7 can't decide anything is a trojan. Your antivirus software may have, which may happen to be Microsoft Antivirus, but that is no more Windows 7 than Word is. Also, as a dev you should know better than to real time scan your dev directories, that kind of shit happens.

No, it was Windows7AntiVirus 2011. Even after I paid $30 it wouldn't clean it. And they charged my credit card twice! At least it runs better than XPAntivirus 2010 did on Windows 7.
All kidding aside, Microsoft Security Essentials is a good program.
