Interesting to see that the rate of infection here in Canada is roughly 1/3 of what it is in the U.S.  Maybe malware doesn't like the cold?  ;)

Hi YoKenny,

Be aware or your spam-omelette gets cold: http://www.malwarecity.com/site/News/browseBlogsByTag/canadian/
And in the USA it is a spam-omelet. I do not know what tastes better?

I much prefer a Spinach-mushroom omelette for lunch with a glass of red wine.
