Stony Stevenson writes "The Storm botnet decreased to just five percent of its original size during April, but overall web-based malware levels increased by 23.3 percent, new monitoring data reveals. MessageLabs' Intelligence Report for April 2008 said that new malicious software removal tools aimed at removing Storm infections were responsible for the sudden reduction in Storm-infected computers. The security firm now estimates the botnet at approximately 100,000 compromised computers, down from previous estimates of two million. This is evidenced by a 57 percent decrease in malware-laden emails distributed by the Storm botnet during April."
