Interesting read: Microsoft Malware report from Malicious Software removal tool

Microsoft has released an interesting report on some results from their Malicious Software Removal tool. There are some pretty shocking results of the amount of virii this thing has cleaned. For example 4.4 million removals of Win32/Rbot, another interesting statistic..the tool cleaned one computer that had over 251 variants of malware. I can only imagine what that person was doing on the web. : )
