Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (SIR) is a comprehensive and wide-ranging study of the evolving threat landscape, and addresses such topics as software vulnerability disclosures and exploits, malicious software (malware), and potentially unwanted software. Volume 8 of the Security Intelligence Report (SIR v8) covers July 2009 through December 2009. It includes data derived from more than 500 million computers worldwide, each running Windows. It also draws data from some of the busiest services on the Internet, such as Windows Live Hotmail and Bing.
The MSRT detected malware on 4.7 out of every 1,000 computers scanned in Argentina during 2H09 (a CCM score of 4.7—up slightly from 4.5 in 1H09 but significantly lower than the average worldwide CCM of 7.0). Figure 102 and Figure 103 list the malware and potentially unwanted software categories and families detected by all Microsoft desktop anti-malware products in Argentina in 2H09.
Notes and observations:
The threat landscape in Argentina was dominated by malware, which accounted for79.7 percent of all threats detected on infected computers in 2H09.
The most common category in Argentina was Worms. It was detected on 26.7 percent of all infected computers in 2H09 and accounted for 6 of the top 25 families.
The second-most common category in Argentina was Miscellaneous Trojans, which includes all trojan families that are not classified as downloaders/droppers or backdoors, and accounted for 16.2 percent of all infected computers.
Together, Miscellaneous Trojans and Trojan Downloaders & Droppers made up almost a third of all families detected on infected computers in Argentina in 2H09.
