Reports recently released suggest that approximately 85% of all Chinas computers are infected with a virus of one type or another, and the numbers are set to swell with Chinas widespread internet use.

The Xinhua news agency reported that the spread of viruses is due to computer users downloading from the internet, visiting websites and opening email attachments. China was hit very hard by the SoBig.F worm last August with 30 percent of the computers being affected.
