The Microsoft Security Intelligence Report has been released.
Microsoft Malware Protection Center
The Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR) provides an in-depth perspective on the changing threat landscape including software vulnerability disclosures and exploits, malicious software (malware), and potentially unwanted software. Using data derived from hundreds of millions of Windows users, and some of the busiest online services on the Internet, this report also provides a detailed analysis of the threat landscape and the changing face of threats and countermeasures and includes updated data on privacy and breach notifications.
Not surprisingly a high percentage of users chose to ignore potentially unwanted software (PUPS) they had installed themselves, 90.1% for Bearshare. We see a lot of P2P file sharing programs on infected computers in the forums.
The full report contains 150 pages.
