US Reigns As Most Bot-Infected Country

Trailrunner7 writes "The US has by far the highest number of bot-infected computers of any country in the world, with nearly four times as many infected PCs as the country in second place, Brazil, according to a new report by Microsoft. The quarterly report on malicious software and Internet attacks shows that while some of the major botnets have been curtailed in recent months, the networks of infected PCs still represent a huge threat."

    So can someone explain why this is news? Sounds more like it reflects the number of computers in the country!

    Look, as an American, it feels good to be the bestest at something for a change. We're desperate, we'll take anything.
