The Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) detected and blocked 28,890 viruses targeted at more than 4,600 computers during 2008.
The level of threats was revealed in a written answer to parliament by the under secretary of state for schools and learners, Sarah McCarthy-Fry.

The Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service (CAFCASS) had no record of any infection by malware in 2008.
