In 1988 the whole universe of malicious programs numbered 1738 samples, according to statistics from AV Test. By 1998 it had grown to 177,500 and in 2008 hit six million.
"In 2007 we saw more malware in one year than we had in the previous 20," said Tom Parsons, a spokesman for security giant Symantec. "And in the last 18 months we've seen more than in all the previous years combined."
