Conficker still infecting approximately 50,000 PCs daily

  Recently, I saw articles stating that the Gumblar website injection attacks were gaining strength and could become worse than Conficker.  Gumblar was a very sophisticated malware attack, that took off like wildfire a couple of weeks ago.  Thankfully, this new threat has almost faded away, as the malware hosting websites were quickly shutdown by authorities.

QUOTE: The worm is infecting about 50,000 new PCs each day, according to researchers at Symantec, who reported Wednesday that the U.S., Brazil and India have been hit the hardest.. "Much of the media hype seems to have died down around Conficker/Downadup, but it is still out there spreading far and wide," Symantec said in a blog post.
