I see a recent (late april or early may) increase in the amount of
botnet connections, but that's in the second quarter of 2009.
MacAfee are comparing the first quarter of 2009 with the first quarter
of 2008.
McAfee's belief that the lower amount of spam is thanks to the takedown
of McColo seems resonable. Similar figues were reported by others as
well in january or february IIRC.
