[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 1114256, member: 19756"] That's part of hasty generalization, where one assumes that one's experiences represent that of the majority. Add to that lack of verification. There's also the possibility that more malware don't show themselves, remain hidden just to steal data, can run without user interaction, can target embedded software directly, and can be found in "legitimate" software and even websites, including in parts of web pages or from data fed by various servers to websites. Add to this related points for which users can do little, such as their data stolen from various businesses and government agencies targeted by malware. Finally, I do remember reading one thread in this forum about studies across the years, and I think the infection rate is around 5 percent, or something like that. [/QUOTE]
