That's an exceptional number for a virus in a 24-hour period. Things quieted down a little bit after a tremendous outbreak last week, but now this thing has gone back to pegging the needle.
It's still an amazing amount of garbage overall.
Not surprisingly, 85 per cent said spam and virus protection had been their number one concern in 2005.
When you have an email server like Microsoft Exchange, which is the most common for small businesses, you end up buying more hardware than you need in order to process the spam you've let in.
If you are in publishing, you get more spam sent to you than anybody else.
Even when you've got the tools in place, it's something you want to be vigilant about.
We're going to see some virus activity there that takes advantage of that. I think we'll also start to see more companies recognizing that they need to put security solutions in place.
I can only guess that this is one of those sort of anti-Microsoft sentiment things that's going on here.
We have seen it start to ratchet up.
