The report focuses on malware that takes advantage of the Windows component  “Autorun.”
However, in recent months, the company reports the number of infections has dropped significantly.

Microsoft attributes the drop to updates they’ve offered on Windows versions of XP and Vista.

Meanwhile, Microsoft expects the number of infections to continue to drop.
