Question on infected machine percentages

Hi,

I am trying to put together some statistics on percent of machines on campus that become infected.

I think that the easiest way to compare stats is to go for a % infected/per 1000/per day - this would allow a semi 
scientific method of comparing various
protection schemes.

I am defining our "machines pulled from the network to be reformatted" as the count of machines infected.

If any one has stats that they are willing to share, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Joel Rosenblatt
