Top 10 malware-hosting countries, Jan-Jun 2010

1. USA 42.29%
2. China 10.75%
3. Russia 6.13%
4. Germany 4.08%
5. France 3.92%
6. United Kingdom 2.41%
7. Italy 2.09%

I thought my Country had a higher percentage of malware hosting.
One of the developers of one of the most destructive P2P worm is italian indeed.
The tools built to remove this malware are ofen useless, lile EliBagla even if it is constantly updated

Interesting to note is that despite it being clear that USA is the country with the highest percentage of malware-hosting (as shown by this report and various others previously), it still remains that many online users have this highly negative and biased perception/prejudice against China (and anyone who is of Chinese origin - esp. software developers in the online tech world) more often than with US. Why is that so? I can guess (and so do you) but it's better to keep silent in this case...
