Virus Stats

Hi

I was wondering if anyone would share their mailbound virus stats with the
list, (or me anyway)

I am working for an organisation at the moment who got 42,000 viruses
inbound and blocked in November and 103,000 in December. (see attachment)

I know this is probably small compared to some companies, but these guys
have 12,000 employees, so that works out at a ridiculous number of viruses
per employee (if you work it out that way)

Is this normal?  

The reason I ask is that the SPAM for December was actually down on previous
months....

Thanks



JM
