Number of Malware Infected Sites Double

A new Dasient report says that the number of Web sites infected with malware has doubled in the past year. That means there's around 1.2 million Web sites out there infected with malware.

According to Crunchgear, that means it takes about three months of Web surfing for the average person to have a 95 percent chance of running into malware.

All the more reason to keep your secure web gateway/proxy system up-to-date and with a working anti-malware program running at all times. It probably doesn't hurt to have end-user protection on the organizations workstations and laptops as well.
