Exponentially Anxious:

Overall, it looks like the bad guys are winning.
The sophistication of their tacticsis outpacing
the knowledge and defensive capabilities of the
average PC owner.


Moreover, reactive defenses are becoming less
effective as the malware authors ratchet up the
speed of their assembly lines (over 20 new known
Zlob variants yesterday alone, for example).

As Internet access expands worldwide, we'll also
have many more first-timers expanding the
potential pool of victims.
