This is a pretty interesting overview of recent malware activity and trends.. worth a read if you have some time!

I don't know, I find it difficult to take it too seriously. When they talk about LoveLetter/Melissa, I really pity the fool who actually opened up the attachments.

They describe the history of malware as if it is only one way....Worms, Trojans, TimeBombs, whatever. It's just crapware that's annoying if anything but really it's blown out of proportion by people who like to sound smart about cyber security and stuff.
