Apples and oranges, one of the problems with folks not being able
to tell the difference between a virus (something installed via a
whole in their software) and something else (such as ssh or telnet
attacks where the users password is guessed). Of course none of
that matters if the perp can use the machine to their needs (for
sending spam or other attacks).
