As a result, simply inserting a removable drive into the computer can infect the system." In second place remains *Win32/Conficker* with 4.52% of detections, followed by *Win32/PSW. OnlineGames*, which is one of the threats with the greatest consecutive validity among the top positions of the world ranking of malware spread. Also during this month it was alerted to an email that falsely announced possible earthquakes in Ecuador and offered a link to download supposed reports of the epicenter, but in reality downloaded a malicious code detected as *Win32/AutoRun.IRCBot.FC* worm. ![Santiago Jaramillo](https://www.ventasdeseguridad.com/images/latinpress/editor-sjaramillo.jpeg) Santiago JaramilloEmail: sjaramillo@latinpressinc.com Editor Comunicador social y periodista con más de 15 años de trayectoria en medios digitales e impresos especializados para América Latina.
