Online crims get to work on your pc.

May 22, 2006 (The Sydney Morning Herald - ABIX via COMTEX) -- AusCERT has found that criminal hackers use malicious software to a much greater extent than anti-virus software can protect from. Meanwhile, organised computer crime syndicates are just as likely to target company PCs as home computers. According to AusCERT's GM, Graham Ingram, it is a major concern that non-propagating trojan coding is so prevalent, whereas copying viruses and worms were previously a greater threat. Although AusCERT concedes its ACNielsen study may not be "statistically valid", Roy Morgan Research concurs with Ingram that solid trending is an interesting sign from the raised sample size: 389 in 2006 compared with 181 in 2005.
