Oh and like every other antivirus tool from other vendors on the planet

Subject: [THIN] Interesting read: Microsoft Malware report from Malicious
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. : )
