The company has decided to revise its forecasts because it is expected that net sales will deviate by more than 10% and operating income and net income will deviate by more than 30% from the previous forecasts, respectively. This deviation is due to an increase in demand for antivirus products caused by outbreaks of several potent viruses such as "NETSKY".
