[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 918394"] Very interesting thread! Thanks for making it [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER] . I do find it interesting that the overall the total amount of new malware created each year really hasn't changed very much. Personally I just assumed that it would just keep increasing year, after year. As it's already been stated, despite all the advancements over the years to combat this, it's still very much a cat and mouse game, with each try to one up the other. I myself am not worried all that much. I keep back ups of all important data, I keep my systems up to date, I practice safe web browsing, etc... While I am over simplifying this a little, end of the day, overall habits will either increase, or decrease your chances of getting infected. That being said, this thread also highlights that there is always the potential chance of getting infected, even if you always practice safe habits. Just like those who still develop lung cancer, even though they never smoked in their life. That's way it's always important to always back up your data properly....you never know if/when it will happen.(y) [/QUOTE]
