Hype my ass. It's completely true. I worked on an NYU friend's computer - it had been infected, I couldn't get rid of the buggers, reformated the computer, installed Windows XP...
Within 30 seconds of booting up, the computer had been infected again. Didn't even have time to download and install the ZoneAlarm software, much less the Windows Updates.
I'll second what the other person said - when I was in college, my computer routinely got a dozen attempts a minute.
