Overview
While outbreaks of mass-mailing viruses are making the news, the much greater number of non-replicating malware gets very little attention. Over the past few years malware writers apparently shifted their efforts from creating viruses and worms 'for fun', from cybervandalism, to creating backdoors, remotely-controlled bots, password stealers, etc. pretty much 'for profit'.
