No. That's besides the point. The point is this is all being done without
proper disclosure.

Software removal tool
Microsoft has released an interesting report on some results from their
Malicious Software Removal tool. There are some pretty shocking results of
the amount of virii this thing has cleaned. For example 4.4 million
removals of Win32/Rbot, another interesting statistic..the tool cleaned one
computer that had over 251 variants of malware. I can only imagine what that
person was doing on the web. : )
