There is no profit in a DDOS of Google, unless a blackmail attempt on Google would be successful, which I doubt and the fake AV is charged at a high rate which should make the controllers a tidy sum, given the supposed number of infections. @Tom Allen,

As great military strategists have said if you want to take over a country quickly do it on a long weekend. I fits for the update that was pushed out on the 1st, then the payload gets pushed a few days later after you verify your clients have updated. I am heartened by the work MS have actually done to contain this, but I think it will quickly disperse into several smaller and less newsworthy botnets, that is unless users actually update their os. @Bogwitch: if it were me thats when I would launch it.
