I have a friend who is way over qualified as a network security expert (last job was a major newspaper) so he works at Best Buy Geeks. He needs to move out of the area to get a decent job in his field but has strong ties here.
Anyway, some interesting stats from what he has seen regarding viruses a Best Buy:
He will see 20 PC's a day with viruses a day. He see's 2 Apples a week with viruses. They range across the board from good virus protection to nothing installed.
He says there is a particularly nasty virus from Russia that he is seeing from time to time. It heavily encrypts all data on your hard drive. Best Buy doesn't even try to fix it and with his background, he says it would be very difficult to fix. It's not that common though.
I thought the Apple vs PC stats were interesting though.
