If you've been following this blog for the past few days, you'll know we've had our hands full with some particularly virulent malware, thanks to a site called ScamSearch.com. We posted an update yesterday, pasting a mind-blowing and PC-frying assortment of malware that infected one of our machines.

So we weren't surprised at all to come across an article in SC Magazine warning of a "malware avalanche."

According to the article, "Security firm Fortinet's April 2009 Threatscape Report identified more incidents of new and known malware infections than ever before. Fortinet said that certain countries and areas are being specifically targeted, and that China had seen the worst attacks. The report also identified online gaming sites as the most common vehicles for infection."

Read the article and make sure all your security software is activated and up-to-date.
