*Numbers of PCs infected with XCP (derived from DNS call statistics) is close to 0.5M. This can't be from 52 CDs!?!* Actually, some people are saying the number of infected computers is around 13 million! It is VERY easy to see how 52 CD's could do it. If we assume that each CD sold 1 million copies (some sold more, some sold less), that would be 52 million copies. If 1% of those people played the CD in their computers, the number of infections would be 520,000... which is the earlier estimated number. And don't forget about this earlier thread about the issue (which also mentions the sysinterals blog. :) --John
