[QUOTE="Minimalist, post: 916509, member: 89179"] If we assume that bad actors replace old malware with new then old malware is not in circulation any more and actively used malware has probably not increased that much in last few years. So I don't know if that would affect a likelihood to encounter malware. Also we could assume that most AVs would block old malware and their protection score would increase if that malware ever reached user, lowering the chance to get infected. Well, really I'm just thinking out loud, before going to sleep, so I might be wrong. [/QUOTE]
