One week of MSE: 1.5 million downloads, 4 million detections
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Security Essentials data for the first
| week has been released, and the numbers tell quite a
| story.

| [...]
|
| Microsoft says that in the first week, MSE made
| almost four million detections on 535,752 distinct
| machines; the company attributes the fact that the
| malware is eight times more than the number of
| computers since machines can be infected with
| multiple threats. It looks like MSE is making quite
| an impact already.
