The writers last week were celebrating the second birthday of a worm that appeared two years ago and that is still the most frequently found infection in circulation. The AV guys say it remains at 55% of infections found, on over half the user machines they scan; because too many people don't keep their machines clean, so they keep passing it back and forth.
There haven't been a lot of new viral types recently (compared to a few months ago; but new phishing types and scams, and new non-viral malware keeps coming up.
