[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 918391, member: 32260"] Some statistics. Suppose that there are 2 billions home computers used in daily activities. If the average infection chance per year is 0.5% (as calculated in OP) then we would have about 10 mln infected home computers. From the traffic incident statistics, we know that there are about 30-50 mln. injured people a year. About 25% of victims are badly injured, and this also gives about 10 mln. [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]So, the chances to be infected by Windows malware are similar to the chances of being badly injured in a traffic accident. [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
