Windows Infected in 12 Minutes

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that's-what-I-call-secure dept.

Uber-Review writes "The speed with which PC's can become infected has now shortened. If your Windows computer is not properly protected,it will take 12 minutes before it becomes infected, according to London-based security company, Sophos. They have detected 7,944 new viruses in the first half of 2005, a 59% increase over the same time span last year."

    no. I think the record stands at 22. The same story, covered 22 times in a 13 month span, from various news aggregators, blogs etc. I could be wrong though, I don't have 'hard' numbers.

    I've said it before, but it ain't a dupe until CmdrTaco posts it. That's what made his April fools joke of a few years ago particularly funny. Anyone else duping the same article 12 times in one day would be lame.
