| 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.
