[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 812720, member: 2291"] Probability that user (who doesn't purposely seek for a malware sample, or download random cracks, patches and similar), protected by known Antivirus, will encounter a threat is really small these days. Percentage that AV will not catch it is even smaller. Percentage that AV missed the threat and your second protection layer doesn't catch it either is negligible. I don't have a correct info but I think that 99,9% of total infections on world level are human factor mistakes. There are still good companies that catch zeroday in wild, Kaspersky, Avast, Microsoft, ESET... Signatures are released usually before press (and media) knows it. Comodo HIPS may catch it, but only if you know what you're allowing or denying. We, at MalwareTips, go sometimes too deep into security and reality is something else. Nevertheless, it's our job. And we are going off topic too much. [/QUOTE]
