Come'on - WTF - A 100 Million compromised machines.  So you are saying roughly 40-60 percent of the Internet is infected.  

Dont pick a number out of your ass and state it as fact to make a point.  Just make your point.  I cant stand it when know-it-all men like you spray and pray to hear yourself talk.  

Yes you are right it makes sense to work with a positive security model.  Make the point and stop trying to impress us with the profoundness of your BS.

I say this lovingly :)
