Re: Education sector most affected by malware

This sounds like a sales type statistic to me.  The way I read this, they
break up "infections" (whatever that means) into separate bins.  They then
decide that our bin is fullest?  I wonder how they did that.  For example,
did our numbers get inflated because we have routable IP's and a user could
bounce through many of them?  Did their report somehow include the many
hosts behind the mighty corporate firewall?   Conveniently I did not notice
a bin for ISP's.  I guess I'm just being grumpy.
