BitDefender says Exploit.SWF.Gen’s popularity is partly due to the fact that until recently Adobe was distributing an old version of the player via its website, relying on the player's auto-update feature (which is optional) to pull-in needed security patches.

Win32.Sality.OG, a rootkit-installing file infector, climbed from number six to number five on the list in July, and at number three, Trojan.Wimad, continued its comeback, slightly increasing from 5.60 percent to 6.16 percent of infections in July. Trojan.AutorunINF.Gen remained stationary at number two, with almost no percentage change, reports BitDefender.

Meantime, the number one top spot on BitDefender’s list is still Trojan.Clicker.CM, increasing from 10.13 percent to 11.41 percent of infections in July.
