One in every twenty eight emails infected

It is a sorry state of affairs when you see a figure like this, 1 in 28 emails carries some sort infection, its ok if you only get around 28 emails a week, but if you are receiving hundreds of emails a day then eventually someone is going to slip up and it makes no difference how many emails are being stopped, it only takes one bad email to through and the job is done.

The storm worm uses video and e cards as the basis for its attack, and so far it is estimated that it has infected 1.8 million computers and it just continues on and on.

But the worst place in the world for vulnerability is still India.
