66% of all private PCs infected with spyware

Zdnet Germany reports that 66% of all private PCs are infected with spyware. If you include cookies which track users the numbers roars up to 92%. Of buisness computers 55% are infested with spyware, 87% including tracking cookies. The story is based on Webroot State of Spyware Report, which can be read online, but you have to leave quite an amout of information before that. So much for privacy. Plus, you should keep in mind that the Webroot might not be completly neutral since they make their living with selling anti-spyware products.
