If you think about it in such terms it does seem like A LOT, but if you compare that with how many websites that actually exist then that’s a pretty small percentage that are infected. According to Netcraft Data as of January 2009, 185 millions websites exist. In a 10 months period nowadays that 185 millions have probably expanded to 200 million websites. That’s only .32% of infected websites.
