I wonder if Sophos includes the wga trojan in their list of infections?

AV firm tells home users to shun PCs Security firm Sophos has issued a call
for home computer users to ditch the Windows operating system and switch to
Macs for the sake of their safety online.

The call came as part of a report detailing the main trends in malicious
software so far this year. The main finding was that all of the top ten
threats to online users targeted the Windows environment.

  The good news is that viruses and worms seem to have hit "so last season"
status, and the numbers of new ones are tailing off. A mere one in 91
emails was a virus, this year, down from one in 35 this time in 2005.
However, the number of new Trojans in circulation is on the up, as is the
overall level of malware. Sophos says Trojans account for 82 per cent of
new threats, and outnumber new viruses by four to one. This reflects a
shift in focus of the average online baddie from mischief making, to
stealing money and potentially profitable information.

The company also noted that a new type of threat has emerged, which it
calls ransomware. In this case, a Trojan infects a computer and the
perpetrator demands money from the victim, who must pay up, or lose all his
or her data.

A company spokesman said it was not surprising that sentencing for online
offenses was getting harsher, given the changing nature of attacks
