Message: <blockquote data-quote="93803123" data-source="post: 836063">Consistent 0 % compromise result in a 350 sample av lab test cannot be linearly extrapolated to 0 % clean in a 1000 sample test or 2000 or 4000 or 8000 and so on. Statistics and reality do not work that way, but people make that extrapolation in their minds every time they look at such tests. As the sample size, or system usage increases, the probability of a compromise increases. The shape of that compromise probability curve is not linear or smooth. It is complex, increasing and decreasing over time.If one is an indiscriminate downloader, then a PUP or PUA infection is almost certain. A more serious infection, it is difficult to quantify the probability, but it is less.</blockquote>
