From the fine article:
"Based on the total number of malware samples collected in 2009, Trend Micro estimates that a new piece of malicious software is created approximately every 1.5 seconds. In addition, estimates place the number of unique new malware samples introduced every day at more than 600,000." 600K samples had better be including variants of polymorphic code and/or machine-generated variants. Or we're screwed.
