An Estimated 35 Million Computers infected Each Month with rouge Security Clients

I've seen a lot of threats over the years for computers but man alive Iit's hard to imagine 35 million computers being infected each month with rouge security clients.

Acording to PandaLabs they found 1,000 samples of fake rouge clients in the first quarter of 2008. In just one years time that grew to 111,000. In the second quarter of 2009 it reached 364,000. These stats were taken from a Cnet article we found here.

PandaLabs goes on to say that there could be as many as 35 million computers infected each month with these rouge threats. Personally I find the number a little high but I do know this issue has grown significantly over the past year.

Microsoft's Free Security Essentials is Some Slick Stuff

I have always had a love hate relationship when it comes to viruses and spyware.  Like everyone out there I hate being infected and do wish all these people were behind bars.  At the same time I make a living off of repairing and removing viruses from peoples computers.

Even with the most advanced antivirus and antispyware protection out there people can still get infected.  I can not ever see a time when people like my self will not have work.  This does not mean you absolutely have to spend money on a security client for your computer.

For many years now companies like AVG, Avast, Spyb
