That said, later this month (and beyond) the MS Malicious software removal tool will start tracking infection rates. This is likely to be a fairly good indicator.
Convince me that the infection rates among the general population, and among the users clued enough to use the tool, are comparable. What percent of the PC's being used to read this posting have been backed up in the last 30 days? What percent of the general population does that? You can't use numbers from a biased sample of clued people to predict or estimate the numbers for the larger pool of clueless people....
