Presumably the samples sent to Norman SandBox Information Center for analysis are malware that is not detected by current antivirus/-spyware products. New malware is therefore very much overrepresented in the statistics (which is correct and as it should be).

What the statistics can indicate, however, are trends in the techniques used by the writers of malicious software. One can see over a periode of time if e.g. malware using botnets is growing or declining relative to other kinds of techniques.

At the rignt hand side above is the relative distibution of malicous software during the latest 7 days, graphically shown. Directly below you will see a graphical representation of trends in the distribution of different types of malware.

Please click the different links at the end of the page for the available periods with larger graphs displaying different periods of time.
