However Switzerland is probably a good place to infect computers, since the infrastructures are probably of good standing.
Actually, Switzerland has a high Microsoft-density (much higher than Germany, for instance), which makes it a good target.
Which is why all those extremely well connected *nix boxes with that awesomely performant Apache setup running PHP with all those nice 'customer' scripts which are so easy to infect.... and send out loads and loads and loads of nonsense... much easier and faster than that Windows box which comes with a nice default firewall etc per default and is clickety click manageable for even the dumbest of people.
Every box has a flaw, given enough of them, they will be exploited and abuse. (incidentally see also my note from a few days ago which most likely had something of the above going on but in a different way....)
