Virus writers must be living it up right now. $55 Billion in losses. That's not a number to sneeze at.

Last year, there was almost one major virus attack every month, including the well-known Slammer worm, which shut down Internet service providers in South Korea, disrupted plane schedules and knocked out automatic teller machines in January. The Lovegate Internet e-mail worm surfaced in February, while the Bugbear and Sobig viruses, which spread via infected e-mail, appeared in June.
