QUOTE: Some key takeaways:

•In the US (as well as other English speaking countries) rogues are predominant.  Six of the top ten threat families in the US are rogues or rogue-related trojan downloaders. This poses a challenge for the end users to identify the legit AV products when there are so many rogue products popping up on the users’ machines. 
•Six of the top ten threat families in China are password stealers, most of which are hunting for online gamers’ credentials.
•Six of the top ten threat families in Brazil are also password stealers, though a lot of them (Bancos, Banker and Banload) tend to target online banking credentials in Brazil.

We close, as we always do, by urging you to take action and protect yourself.
