Gates: "I have malware on my home PC"

In a CNET News.com article, Bill Gates mentions:

'This malware thing is so bad,' he said in a speech at the Computer History Museum here. 'Now that's the one that has us really needing to jump in.'



It's also a problem that has affected Gates personally. He said his home PCs have had malware, although he has personally never been affected by a virus.



'I have had malware, (adware), that crap' on some home machines, he said.

Gates also said Microsoft will offer software to detect malicious applications and that the company will keep it up-to-date on an ongoing basis. He did not say when the software would be available or whether Microsoft would charge for it.
