From
http://insight.zdnet.co.uk/internet/security/0,39020457,39116671-2,00.htm:

"The total number of viruses unleashed upon the Internet in its
relatively short history is about 63,000. The total cost of these acts
is estimated at $65bn (39.24bn)."


And this was back in September 2003.  Until a TCO study includes the
cost of damages and cleaning up after viruses, worms, and other computer
crime, I view the results with suspicion.
