Threat landscape for Malaysia (2009)

These information was obtained from Microsoft Security Intelligence Report (http://www.microsoft.com/sir)

The MSRT detected malware on 4.0 out of every 1,000 computers scanned in Malaysia during 2H09 (a CCM score of 4.0—down from 5.1 in 1H09 and lower than the average worldwide CCM of 7.0). Figure 128 and Figure 129 list the malware and potentially unwanted software categories and families detected by all Microsoft desktop anti-malware products in Malaysia in 2H09.

Notes and observations:
• The threat landscape in Malaysia was dominated by malware, which accounted for 72.2 percent of all threats detected on infected computers in 2H09, up from 69.6 percent in 1H09.
• The most common category in Malaysia was Worms, which accounted for 27.8 percent of all infected computers, down from 28.1 percent in 1H09.
• The second-most common category in Malaysia was Miscellaneous Trojans, which includes all trojan families that are not classified as downloaders/droppers or backdoors, and accounted for 16.5 percent of all infected computers, down from 17.0 percent in 1H09.
• The category Trojan Downloaders & Droppers was significantly lower in Malaysia than in many other countries and regions around the world at 10.9 percent, up slightly from 10.4 percent in 1H09.
