20 million more malware apps during 2008

Rather surprisingly, Kaspersky Lab has forecast that the security threat landscape will increase by more than 20 million programs by the end of 2008 when compared to the 2007 year-end figures, a ten-fold increase no less. That is worth repeating: the number of new malicious applications in circulation by the end of 2008 will increase by 20 million according to Kaspersky.
