China gets on top, almost 29 percent of the infections where tracked by Symantec, Symantec's vice president for Security Response Alfred Huger says We're not seeing anywhere near the number of infections in Western Europe and North America.

Commenting about the infections, Huger looks at pirated software, I think that piracy plays a role, though I don't know if it's the key contributor, Huger said.

Security experts said they are worried about the next step in the attack. All indications, though, seem to point to this being a real threat, though a Microsoft patch has been available since October.
