Fortinet has announced findings from its March 2009 Threatscape Report, which is characterized by a persistent virus and a notorious worm: the Conficker.

The report encompasses the threatscape in general and is segmented into different parts examining spam travel, IPS exploits, antivirus and malware movements, web traffic and web content filtering.

That said, always be aware and keep your protection up to date."
