Thousands of viruses are made everyday.

**** Clarification ****

Thousands of variants of viruses are made daily, mainly by "Script Kiddies" who get some viral code, modify it a little bit, and re-distribute it.

Estimates per quarter (of a year) generally sit between 80-100 million units for prebuilt systems. (see source for an example)

If you divide that by 3 to get a single month, that gives you 27-33 million a month.

If you divide that by 30 (an average month) you get between 900,000 and 1.1 million a day.

Nobody keeps tracks of "new" Computer Viruses, as almost all are offshoots of existing ones. However, according to a Symantec (anti-virus manufacturer) report found on the CERT (USA Government office; Department of Homeland Security) website (refer to the link, below), "nearly 7,000 new worms and viruses . . . in the first half of 2006; this is the highest number ever recorded for a 6-month period." Given that figure, one may derive that over 1,166 worms and viruses are created per month. As an aside, according to the Computerworld link, below, the total number of viruses created as of the end of 2008 reached the one million mark, with over 25% of them having been created in the latter half of 2008, alone. Given that the numbers have been tracked since 1988, that would average to over 4,166 viruses per month.
